I've just been driving three boys - aged 10, 11 and 12 - to the local leisure centre so that they can go swimming. I had the radio tuned to the local station and was listening to the presenter announce that the travel update and news would follow the next song.
The opening bars of one of my favourite 80's songs drifted from the speakers and I started humming along quietly. As the chorus approached I heard a murmuring of lyrics from the back seat of the car... then, all of a sudden, I was treated to a chorus of voices singing:
Ah, kids of today - they know a good song when they hear one.

"GOLD! ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR SO-OOOUL.
YOU'VE GOT THE POWER TO KNOW, YOU'RE INDESTRUCTIBLE...
ALWAYS BELIEVII-IING..."
