Me and my friend both fancied the same girl in primary school, so we decided to write a song for her. This involved assembling some saucepans, Tupperware pots and a small upturned bin, locating my recorder (you know, the thing you blow into), a blank tape and hitting record on my shitty stereo. We then proceeded in singing our hearts out about utter nonsense, mentioning her name intermittently. We inventively titled our magnum opus as 'Charlotte'. And yes, we gave it to this girl, fully expecting her to fall in love with both of us.
Turns out, she ended up kissing my partner in crime, leaving me feeling pretty fobbed off if I'm honest. This all took place around the age of 10... I'm pretty much over it now.
