Kim Wilde quotes:
‘Staying alive’ (Bee Gees)
…melodies that stick in your head…
‘Waiting for a star to fall’ (Boy meets girl)
I don’t mind what I sing now, because I never feel guilty about my guilty pleasures.
‘Yes sir I can boogie’ (Baccara)
It’s a totally different kind of boogie. It’s a sort of horizontal boogie.
‘Islands in the stream’ (Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers)
Darling, we’re islands in the stream. Sort your head out.
