PIPPI LONGSTOCKINGS

I can't help it. Pippi Longstockings has been stuck in my mind for at least the past 2 days since I saw Lorelai and Rory watch the movie. Now, I'm compelled to mention it.
I can bet on my safety shoes that if I were ever to walk into a neighbourhood video rental (does such premises exist anymore?) or even the VCD/DVD rental (never seen any thus far) and asked for Pippi Longstockings, the look on the sales clerk will be worth a million dollars (unless they themselves sat down and watched the Gilmore Girls)
Pippi Longstockings!
PS: Ran a search on Pippi Longstockings on Yahoo! and found out that it's actually a book! But DVD's can be rented... hmmm

  8. OH! OH! OH!

    Pippi Longstocking! What a coincidence! A cartoon of it used to air on TV1 or TV2 about two years ago during the Ramadhan month. My family would always break our fast to the opening credits of the cartoon EVERY DAY. I can even sing the first few lines of the song, if you want. It will be stuck in my head forever because these days, when I buka puasa that song will always come into my head.

    "What shall we do today,
    What shall we do today?

    "What shall we do today,
    What shall we doooooooo (do, do, do?)"


    I'm afraid that's all I remember :D
