One and Other - Oh, those were the days!

Posted by Laura Hickman | Posted in , , | Posted on 21:10

Once again I've found myself procrastinating and reminiscing about One and Other, whilst avoiding doing anything productive today I have written a little song about the plinth, loosely based on and to the tune of Mary Hopkin's Those Were The Days (see video below) Enjoy!

Once upon a time there was a pedestal, upon which we would have our hour due.
Remember how we laughed away the hours and dreamed up all the great things we would do?

Then the busy months went rushing by us, we had our 'fifteen minutes' on the way,
If by chance I'd see you all on Twitter, we'd smile at #oneandother and we'd say...

Those were the days my friends, we hoped they'd never end, they'd keep the feed for ever and a day, we'd watch the stream we choose: an hour we'd never lose, for we were art and surely we should stay.

Just tonight I stood below the pedestal, nothing was the way it used to be, on the plinth I saw a new attraction and wished up in its place that I could be.

Through the square there came familiar faces, I saw your hour and played the plinther game.
One and Others gone but not forgotten, for in our hearts it always will remain.

Those were the days my friends, we hoped they'd never end, they'd keep the feed for ever and a day, we'd watch the stream we choose: an hour we'd never lose, those were the days oh yes those were the days.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep, beeeeeep,
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
Beep, beep, beep, beeeeeep,
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
