Song:  A Summer Song - Chad and Jeremy

Don´t know if this qualifies, as I´m not fluent in Turkish, ( or English )

but.....I know Yadigar means ´souvenir´.

And this song is about summer, holidays, souvenirs.......and memories.

All good things must end someday.....Think about it.

I cheated . . . I keyed in the Turkish words for ´sunshine´

 Song:  Pocket Full of Sunshine  -   Natasha Bedingfield

 Film: Field of Dreams - Kevin Costner

 Play:  A Midsummer Night´s Dream  by William Shakespeare

This reminds me of the annual Drama Cup at school when I was 14.  I played one of the country bumpkins/players in a play they enacted for the play´s main lovelorn characters.  In effect, I was a 14 year old girl playing a male character who dressed up as a woman in the enactment of Pyramus and Thisbe. 

Just before going on stage I added a few props of my own.  I blacked out my front teeth, stuffed two balloons up my dress and taped a needle to the end of my dagger.  My death scene went with a loud bang and my dying "lover" and I missed out a whole speech through uncontrollable laughter.  We came second and also had the pleasure of the sharp tongue of our English Teacher.  Oops . . .

 a personal favorite!. went to an adaptation of this play in London my (newish) friend was rather embarrassed as the costume department had only supplied butterflies for the ladies and very sparse folliage for the men ....... it was practically an orgy ha ha

AMidsummer Night´s Dream:  I have seen a few versions and some of them outdoors.  My favourite was a ´promenade´ in a country park.  The audience follows the play through the park.  The fairy scenes were magical, taking place in the woods, which were lit up with fairy lights.

Song:  Space Oddity - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (a.k.a. Davide Bowie)

 Film: Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence  -   David Bowie, Tom Conti, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Takeshi Kitano.    -  1983

"The film deals with the relationships among four men in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during the Second World War — Jack Celliers (Bowie), a rebellious prisoner with a guilty secret from his youth in New Zealand; Captain Yonoi (Sakamoto), the young camp commandant; Lieutenant Colonel John Lawrence (Conti), a British officer who has lived in Japan and speaks Japanese fluently; and Sergeant Hara (Kitano), with whom Lawrence develops a peculiar friendship."   from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Christmas,_Mr._Lawrence

An excellent film.
