Written originally, I believe for the Wild Thornberrys movie. <br /><br />Now, here's an odd link: another song featured in that movie is "Get Out of London" by the Pretenders, which contains the lines "Run don't walk, keep as straight as a crow, I'm waiting for my treasure at the Admiral Benbow." The father in <i>The Wild Thornberrys</i> is voiced by Tim Curry, who played Long John Silver in <i>Muppet Treasure Island</i> which features the Admiral Benbow. Now is that Jungian or what? OK, no, not very much, but it slightly tickled me.Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-39881345049576940812012-03-29T19:23:17.053+01:002012-03-29T19:23:17.053+01:00Martin,

Mind, for me, there really is a "meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star". I froze myself solid, holding her up to watch the Leonids, around 2 a.m. in France one summer.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-88604915029004224192012-03-29T16:39:16.414+01:002012-03-29T16:39:16.414+01:00I can see why this struck a chord, Mike.
