Born to be wild...
'Songs for the way you really want to live your live', is the intriguing sounding theme that we have lined up for Monday's Get It On.
Are you a stay at home type who wishes they were really 'Living For The Weekend' ? Are you a grump who wants to 'Always Look On The Bright Side of Life'? Monday night's show is the night for you to live out your dream life courtesy of the music.
Personally, I'd like to be young, foolish and happy like in the song but instead I'm old, sensible and reasonably content, so maybe that should be my pick.
