Entertainment For Lively Minds
The combined might of The Massive's brain please
Posted by Axekeith on 9 April 2010 - 4:56pm.
My 8 year old daughter (and the rest of her school) are taking part in their annual sponsored run around the playground, and the Head has asked if I can put together a CD of songs with Run(ning) in the title. They should be jaunty enough to inspire the kids to run around to. He has specifically asked for Keep On Running.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

Had to check if that was one of the young folk's expressions :-)
Seeking enlightenment I tried Wikipedia and was delighted by this helpful list:
You live & learn, eh ...
