		<title>Count Duckula</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Count Duckula was another cartoon that I grew up watching in the late 1980s and early 1990s &#8211; enjoy the episode above &#8211; I hadn&#8217;t remembered the intro was quite so long!

		<title>Muppet Christmas Carol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Muppets were the biggest sewn people for a decade or so in the 1980s and early 90s &#8211; and there isn&#8217;t a much more nostalgic show than &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221; when it comes to feeling christmassy, so it isn&#8217;t really that amazing that the &#8220;Muppet Christmas Carol&#8221; evokes in me all kinds of twinkly, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mr President &#8211; Coco Jambo0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This track, Coco Jamboo, came out in 1996 courtesy of the German reggae style outfit known as &#8220;Mr President&#8221; &#8211; this was an instant summer classic which spun us round and round the waltzers in the summer of &#8216;96.
Another treasured memory.

		<title>Bomfunk MCs Freestyler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This song will probably place you in a certain period of your life, at the dawn of a new Millennium, when things like the &#8220;Bomfunk MCs&#8221; were just a new group of people who you hadn&#8217;t really heard of.
The latter part is still true, but this track, &#8220;Freestyler&#8221; is one of those pieces of music [...]]]></description>

Harold, played with deadpan humor by Bud Cort, is under extreme pressure from his overbearing mother, Mrs. Chasen (Vivian Pickles), in a performance that is a [...]]]></description>

Delicious icecream
For me to eat
Its taste is just supreme
Give me Cornetto
From Wall&#8217;s Ice Cream
