If Pop Songs Were Works Of Classic Literature

“I entered as a wrecking ball might.”



"I entered as a wrecking ball might, with abandon, intent on tearing the walls of your home as you did the walls of my heart."

"Into the soiree a catalyst arrives, hips swaying metronomically as she crosses the floor toward me, lips dancing around the edge of her rum-filled glass. The men in the room are silent, standing catatonic and salivating into their champagne as she pulls me to my feet.


"I'm drunk," I tell her.


"So what?" she laughs, "it's the weekend." She leads me into the middle of the dance floor as toots and whistles sound out from the crowd, the atmosphere rich and wanting. She leans in close and whispers, "let's have some fun," and I close my eyes as she rolls into me, letting the crowd fade away behind us."

"Ghosts don't like the evening news. Jon Snow on Channel 4 seems to be the most effective barrier against the supernatural, and I turn up the volume as loud as it will go, the deafening analysis of the situation in Crimea preferable to the ungodly wails of a disturbed spirit.


The ghosts have other plans and hit the mute button on the remote, which they seem to have hidden. My hairs are standing on end as the overwhelming silence sets in and panic gives way to fear.


And then... nothing. I chuckle, relieved, thinking how ridiculous my life has become. As I turn back toward Jon Snow the toaster pops up and I shriek, the laughter of ghosts echoing throughout the house."

"To celebrate the beginning of the summer holidays, the seven decide to have a party. "What fun!" they agreed, and made plans to serve fig rolls with lashings of ginger beer.


The day of the party arrived and everybody was in good form. Tina had been practicing a special dance with Jon, who fancied more than a little bit of Tina. Paul, as was typical of him, was hand-polishing the floor, while Hannah shouted encouragement.


Bradley, in an effort to escape the pre-party jitters, had gone outside to play on the swing. Bradley finds parties ever so stressful.


Rachel, who was hoping to meet a nice boy at the party, despite them only inviting each other, was upstairs raiding her mum's make-up for the perfect shade of lippy.


The only member of the gang not looking forward to the party was Jo, who had started her period that morning and was currently bed-ridden with cramps.


"Poor Jo," the other six lamented. Then they had the party anyway, because there isn't a party quite like an S Club party."
