☆:*Achievements & Memorabilia*✿⊱╮♡ "When words are not enough, music can speak volumes, it speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest." Check out our tags below...we have different categories different years. Smile again, love again. Is it possible to catch happiness by listening to a song, being reminded of this wonderful feeling? Just like a battery you can gather positive charges from the captured moments of happiness of others and keep them close to your heart. Life is beautiful no matter what, but sometimes we have to fight for our happiness. "It's not where you're from; it's where you're going. It's not what you drive; it's what drives you. It's not what's on you; it's what's in you. It's not what you think; it's what you know."Live simply, speak kindly, care deeply and Love generously!"

Having been brought up on a tasty diet of American gangster movies, the term 'East Side' usually meant the seamy side of a city. Of course, looking back, it was used about New York, not Chicago.

♪♫•*¨* Jenny (867-5309) - Tommy Tutone •.¸¸♪♫
1982.One hit wonder. When a phone number is needed for a movie or TV show, they usually use a fake one starting with 555, which doesn't exist in the real world. The group didn't want to use a fake number for this because it wouldn't sound right. It made the song a lot more intriguing, but made life very difficult for people who had that number. Many of them had to change it because they were flooded with prank calls, usually kids asking for "Jenny."Collected in More & more tunes Jan 10, 2012 -
