Two turntables and a microphone

The only other thing I will ever want to say about Rachel Stevens' "Some Girls" is that it reminds me of the time our brave and true friend Darren, back in the days when all of the gang did shows on the South Gippsland community FM radio station, brought into the studio a record of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop "doing" the Doctor Who theme music, put it on one turntable, put Gary Glitter's "Rock And Roll Part 1" on the other turntable, got them both spinning, and proceeded to spend the next couple of minutes of airtime cross-fading from one to the other. This was around the time of "Doctor In The Tardis" or whatever it was called, and Darren was no doubt driven by the "anyone can do that" spirit of punk. That he couldn't quite get the two songs in sync only added to the charm.
