Good Morning, World!

[@QuarterMoonRachel]

Don't have an Alexa but I've put Dancing In The Moonlight on anyways, just to join in

[@JonaOlsen]

OMG Myspace, what a throwback! I started following you, Carrie, on there after discovering McFLY back in 2007, I realised that we were the same age and I think you actually accepted my friend request lol. I really loved your original songs, my favourite one was called Hearts & Roses haha! I've been a fan of yours ever since and I'm so proud of the woman you've become and all you've achieved

[@orangepeas]

I remember when you had to have a university email address to have a Facebook account. No joke. It was all about universities at the beginning. (Showing my age!)

[@KatesAdventures]

Dancing in the Moonlight is such a good song but it was never the same for me after one of my High School classes one day. We were bored and asked the teacher if he could put the radio on (sidenote: why was playing music always the solution to a boring class?) The teacher replied that the radio didn't work but he did have a tape he could play. For the next 90 minutes (double period), he played the single tape of Dancing in the Moonlight by Toploader on repeat. It had 2 tracks - the original version and then a remix that sounded very similar to the original version. By the end of the class, I not only knew every word to a song that had previously been mostly background noise in my life, I also heard things in the song I'd never heard before (instruments, backing vocals etc) and most importantly, I learned NEVER to ask that teacher to play music again. But for those of you who haven't binge listened to the song against your will and lived to regret it, I hope you enjoyed the dance party :) It is a good song!

I was getting worried when this was late 😱

These videos have become so much a part of my daily routine that I'm having dreams of just sitting in a room chatting with Oli and Carrie

[@danielFARAHday]

In addition to social media, generations from millennials and younger have grown up with an interest in musical theater because of the Disney renaissance. Many of the movies were done by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, who also did Little Shop of Horrors. I would think having that would also increase the audience for more musicals.

[@jennyhind]

Thanks for using my email ❤️ social media has made musical theatre/ theatre in general so much more accessible to everyone and i love it! Cant imagine life without it now and how awful lockdown would have been without it. Wish i could have joined in the conversation! Thanks again! X

[@hannahswan1193]

Morning Ollie and Carrie 😊

I won't have my phone for an entire week and I'm looking forward to all the videos I'll have to catch up on from you two! 😊

[@rosadiaz1739]

good morning everyone 💞take care og yourself, you got this beautiful people xx

[@abigailabell6054]

My kitten has been crying and refusing to settle down for the last 45 minutes, put this on and shes asleep in my lap by 3 minutes in so thank you! Great video as always

[@alastairmonk6439]

Makes me feel Old! When i was 12-13 the "personal computer" hadn't yet been invented, "social media" didn't exit and my social life was composed of books from the local library and making Airfix kits! How things have changed!

[@JackieWarner13]

36 degrees?! In England wow as an Aussie that's shocking. That's a normal summer day my area of Sydney's western suburbs. Gotta be honest I wish I could get back into my MySpace and just save all my photos so many from concerts & last years of high school. Memories. We were great coders back in the day

[@emmaweb2006]

I know this whole situation is terrible this pandemic but just not grateful imagine if it was this was happening in the 80s no social media and know KZbin as always says Oliver it would be very difficult stay in touch with Family and Friends . Ps hope are all ok be safe ❤️🥰 ha ha I have a Google 🤣🤣

[@cijmo]

Yes, it was different back in the day. I've seen so many great stars of live theatre in the 70s and 80s that I no longer have ANY idea who they were. I probably didn't even look at their names because there was no means of finding out anything else about them. LOL know what else I was doing in the 70s? Listening to Dancing in the Moonlight! So glad that song made a comeback.

[@megdavies1021]

Good morning all! Hope you have a great day and remember to drink water xo

[@lailam1292]

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

Anyone else remember Bebo? 😂

[@LolaGabriella]

Yeah Bebo was the one for me - I had a MySpace but hardly used it. I was really into Bebo and used to make skins for people - I actually really regret deleting my page because I'd love to look at it now 😂

[@HelenRosemarySmith]

@@LolaGabriella aw yeah you could make everything so colourful on bebo! Sadly the whole site shut down so they're not there to look at any more; I've still got emails from it telling me people posted on my page though haha

[@emmemmemmemme]

hahahah my Alexa is loving it right now thanks Oliver

[@joxclever]

Aw, Toploader, what a corker. I really enjoyed the way they used that song in Umbrella Academy.

[@theonlyenekoeneko]

I used to stay up late on Thursdays to listen to a radio programme called Songs From Musicals. This was how I discovered musicals as a teenager. Of course I’d still be limited to only knowing the whole story if I could find the soundtrack on CD or if the show came to town.

[@sarahhhhhhhh]

Good mooorrrrninnnnnggg!!!

[@roscoestanley4858]

Steven_Sarah have a great day! Xx

[@sophiehawley6681]

You two 100% need a podcast together!

[@chlobobass]

My parents are fans of musical theatre so naturally, I was brought up with musical theatre from the start. However, I didn’t quite understand the meaning of some songs when I was younger, and when I suggested to my primary school choir at the age of nine to sing “Man Wanted” from Copacabana, I didn’t understand why some teachers were so against the idea and were shocked I knew such a raunchy and risqué song.

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

I remember being really annoyed when my parents wouldn't tell me what Rocky Horror was or let me go with them to see it 😂 they used to take me to so many shows but never that one and then I saw the film whe i was like 18 and was like 0_____0

[@bethanybanana7447]

I was born in 2000 so my teen years were spent pestering my parents to let me have social media haha.I appreciate them shielding me but it just isolated me from my friends. I was allowed an Instagram when i was 14 for my photography then Facebook at 16 to join a prom chat. Great video! Love the alexa segments they are so fun

[@sophiehare3131]

My Alexa Is playing and I can't turn it off 😂😭I'll just live with it 😅thanks Oliver 😂

[@muppetsstoogesfan1]

Christmas is my jam! Year round. One of my favorite wintery albums that came out last year was The O'Pears Stay Warm album. folk trio from Canada. Gorgeous harmonies.

[@TheNeveFringe]

i love the alexa segment!! please keep doing them!

[@alanmorris8783]

Time out was the best source of theatre stuff. In the 90’s, I used to get a meal, see a show and have a drink at half time ,,,, all for a tenner. I saw loads of opera, ballet, theatre and musical theatre on a first-job salary. You absolutely cannot now, so where’s the progress there??? I realise you had to actually be able to read a paper to see what was going on, and this is beyond most teenagers, but you didn’t need social media. This was a time before mobile phones and the internet. And I’m not even that old!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jusmarch3740]

OMG that is so funny. My Alexa's just starting playing !!!

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

My myspace was a Dougie Poynter fan page and I remember following Carrie and listening to her music on there 😂

Good Morning Guys 💜💜

Elena May morning have a great day

[@lesleycurrie7822]

I used to use myspace and then after that was Bebo , you used to get top friends which I thought was quite weird and bebo gave you 1 love a day that you could give away to someone it became like a competition of who could get the most loves per day from their friends.

[@gabyh-c3345]

That was adorable 🥺 anyone else keep it playing? 😂

[@MsBryBry]

i remember learning how to write code so that i could change the layout of my myspace page and to add music and lyrics to it... and i had to be going into college when facebook first came out because you couldn't sign up without a university email it was designed only for college students

[@theonlyenekoeneko]

Just entered stage 4 lockdown in Melbourne for minimum 6 weeks 😞 very much stuck at home and not looking hopeful to see friends for my birthday in October

[@SamWest96]

Sending you love ❤️ I don't think we're far off a second lockdown here in UK. I'm fully expecting to spend my time with my newborn (due September) stuck at home 😔

[@theonlyenekoeneko]

Sammy Tyler sending you strength and calm to get you through whatever is to come. I hope you enjoy the birth and your newborn, even though you may not be able to have the people close to you come visit and help you. I’m really sorry that this is the world your newborn will meet. Hopefully it all gets better. Sending all my strength; you’ve got this.

[@SamWest96]

@@theonlyenekoeneko thank you so much, that it very kind of you, sending similar vibes your way

[@marthabjo]

In Norway we're allowed to gather 20 people in private homes, provided we're able to keep a 1 meter distance, so here's hoping you'll be able to gather people by October! The UK is on Norway's "green list" for travel, so I suppose that's a good sign?

[@mbfan86]

“The older generation wouldn’t be screaming and wanting selfies”.... Carrie, you clearly don’t know Michael Ball fans very well 😂😂

[@lizziecampbell4446]

I remember the phase of 'like for looks' and 'hot or not' on Facebook.. And then people would do videos of whoever liked there post if you thought they where hot or not

[@laurencleary6724]

Social media can sometimes degrade musicals however - for an example, because I'm a Heathers fan people assume I have tik tok when I just like the original musical

[@camilovejdbm]

For a second I thought Oli wasn’t going to say the Don’t of the day 🤣💀

[@LeonaEvans18]

OMG piczo that really takes me back!

[@missvdb]

My Alexa played the new version of dancing in the moonlight. I had to correct it. Toploader all the way.

[@dan-ks1yd]

The alexa part is so jokes

[@animelover1705]

omg! the sec you mentioned piczo i got slapped hardcore in the face with nostalgia XD mine used to be so cringy and i remember there was a thing where you could lock your messaging wall so you needed a password to leave me little messages and my dad ended up printing that password onto good quality photo paper and laminated them and i was forced to give them to my classmates. my messaging wall was deleted after the class bully she posted some reall mean and disturbing things on there diracted at me (never found out what she wrote since my sister and dad hid that from me and by the time i was old enough to know, they had forgotten what she wrote. did found out it was about r*pe and stuff like that :c

[@xAbbieCx13]

Oh god, Carrie dug up some dark memories talking about Piczo, that site caused murder at my school!

[@cararook]

I thought you were playing a practical joke when you said it was August, holy heck, where has the time gone???

[@fst4213]

You didn’t say “by Toploader” quickly enough so my Alexa is now playing the Jubël version! It’s not bad but I agree with Carrie - Toploader is better 😊
