![]() Yes it is interesting isn’t it about the simple and complicated girls! Maybe that’s what is meant by opposites being attracted to each other. Have watched SATC all the way through 3 times (it’s more about relationships than sex to be fair) and Carrie Bradshaw is a writer with a weekly column in a NYC newspaper, so is my idol! Hi there – I’m afraid when it comes to chick flicks I’m an old romantic. You battle on with the love you’re buildin’ onĪnd we got nothing, and we got nothing to be guilty of Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we areĮyes can see that we got a highway to the sky You battle on with the love you’re livin’ on Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own So, “What’s It All About?” – Who knew that the simple girls always get their man whereas the complicated girls don’t? Well, maybe they didn’t in TSadly back in 1973 it just didn’t seem to be the case but perhaps relationships have evolved and even complicated girls now can have it all! The Bee Gees were great songwriters and as mentioned last week I am very proud to have come out and admitted to being a fan. Still a great duet however where each of them gets their own boy/girl lines and “nothing to be guilty of” in terms of liking it, as we don’t do that around here any more. 34 in the UK Singles Chart but looking again at the video clip, Barry and Barbra (nice ring to it) did look oh so very white in it, and this was very much the era of new wave, post-punk and ska where the artists wore very little white indeed and were much, much edgier in terms of their output. I am quite frankly amazed that the song Guilty only made it to No. Guilty by Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb: The world is made up of “complicated girls” with wild curly hair (Carrie and Barbra) and “simple girls”, the ones with tame straight hair – Big and Redford chose the simple girls! ![]() This reminded me that one of my favourite scenes from a SATC episode was the one where Carrie realises that her failed relationship with Mr Big (the nickname her ex-boyfriend is given – he was supposed to be The Big One, the one she married) was down to the same reason that it didn’t work out for Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand in the 1973 film The Way We Were. One of the best-known groups of “Single Girls” were those Manhattan-based stars of Sex and the City, Carrie Bradshaw and her pals, also at times known to feel a bit sad and lonely in a great big town (although not that often to be fair). It was all about a girl feeling a bit sad and lonely in a “great big town”. In my last post I featured the song Single Girlby The Primitives/Sandy Posey (take your pick). WARNING: It’s all about to get very girly! Yet again however a strange synchronicity has come about, and this is the post that links them. Although my posts often follow on from each other and are somewhat related, the two I wrote last week (from my sickbed) were very different indeed with no obvious link at all.
