Snoopy vs the Red Baron REPRESENT!!!!!!

I am in love with that song. I don't remember much from my childhood but one memory is riding in the car listening to a tape that had that on it over and over and over (there were only like 6 songs). I listen to it OBSESSIVELY at Christmas. I think that'll be my "Christmas Scene" choice.

Eee and the Velvets and Coltrane!

Everybody has such great choices! The Fashion Spot is so diverse...
