I also forgot this lovely gem that can be found on the old Rev 105 Archive disk: Caroline, by Kirsty MacColl. This is an incredibly catchy tune, that I got stuck in my head this morning after checking the book Coraline (by Neil Gaiman) out from the Minneapolis Public Library.

I couldn’t immediately remember who sings it (because I don’t know this Kirsty MacColl at all–maybe I should–), so I searched last.fm from my iphone, and got hundreds of song titles containing Caroline, including titles by OutKast, Fleetwood Mac, David Gray and Low. Now I want to find all these and listen to them!

You’ll need these…

Sara - Starship
Veronica - Elvis Costello
Jenny - Tommy Tutone
Mandy - Barry Manilow
Rosanna - Toto
Ana Ng - TMBG
Wendy - Beach Boys
Eleanor Rigby - Beatles

Cecilia - Simon and Garfunkel
Daria - Cake
