News program “Good Morning America” dated December 20, 1990 did a segment on Nintendo and its competitors during the 1990 holiday season. It was a question wether or not Nintendo could uphold their position as top game maker despite their older NES hardware compared to their rival’s 16-bit systems. Nintendo wasn’t gonna have their 16-bit system released in the States until the following year. More powerful systems also meant a higher price tag which was a major concern due to the US economy at the time.

Kate performs “Symphony In Blue” on the 1979 Christmas special. The opening music is “Gymnopédie No.1″ by Erik Satie. Lyrics: I spent a lot of my time looking at blue, The colour of my room and my mood: Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth; The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out, The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about. When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in, Go blowing my mind on God: The light in the dark, with the neon arms, The meek He seeks, the beast He calms, The head of the good soul department. I see myself suddenly On the piano, as a melody. My terrible fear of dying No longer plays with me, for now I know that I’m needed For the symphony. I associate love with red, The colour of my heart when she’s dead; Red in my mind when the jealousy flies, Red in my eyes from emotional ties, Manipulation, the danger signs. The more I think about sex, the better it gets. Here we have a purpose in life: Good for the blood circulation, Good for releasing the tension, The root of our reincarnations. I see myself suddenly On the piano, as a melody. My terrible fear of dying No longer plays with me, for now I know that I’m needed For the symphony. I spent a lot of my time looking at blue– No wonder that I blue it!

From their album ‘Animosity’. randomforum.org One step in the dark Touch her hand just to see If she’s all alone again Still she hasn’t seen sun But I promise you now when she wakes There will be none Don’t know how she gets by Sleeps with a phone on her chest And a bottle that’s totally dry Forgets the day I was born But if she saw me right now She would hold me until we both die I could be the one who would die to feel you breathe I could break into a million pieces So just run as fast as you can for me You mean everything I can’t deny her. I’ll do whatever To stop all the bleeding that makes her world so red Such a delicate one She screams so loud that I run to hide from the sound And I could be the one who would die to feel you breathe But it’s too far-gone And this love must die (Chorus repeat 4x). Lyrics from ~SongMeanings.net~
