Listography - Top 5 songs I grew up to

I haven't taken part in Kate Takes 5's Listography in ages but when I saw the latest link I couldn't resist.

So here's a trip down my musical memory lane. Enjoy. Maybe?!

My list comprises of, in no particular order:

Baltimore - Tarzan Boy A 7 inch single birthday present!

Aha - Take on me My favourite band from the 80s - HUGE crush on Morten Haarket!

Nena - 99 Red Balloons My sister played this endlessly and I loved it, still do.

Chess the musical - I know him so well I've never seen the musical but my sister - again - had the soundtrack and I listened to it over and over.

Whitney Houston - Somebody who loved me Influenced by my brother this time who loved Whitney.

What's your top five?

Listography - Top 5 Keyword Searches on my Blog!

This week Kate's Listography has asked us to research our traffic source stats to find out what weird and wonderful keyword searches direct people to our blogs. Well, my blog is laidback, family friendly and fun. It is about parenting, children and cake. So, I was expecting keyword searches along the lines of Great mothering / Scrumdiddlyumptious cake / Surviving at being a SAHM but oh no, I found all sorts of strange ones.

Here goes then:

1. The Last Day
The last day of what exactly? The world? My blog? Being sane? I have no idea how a search engine linked this to my blog at all!

2. The macaroni then the mince
What? I don't think I have ever mentioned macaroni. I submitted a mince recipe to the Reluctant Housedad's Recipe Shed so maybe that's what it landed on.

And then it gets a bit kinky...
3. Birthday Spanking
I blogged about turning 35 on my birthday this year and how I felt I had hit midlife. Maybe, somewhere, somehow, someone in the land of the interweb thinks that I, sweet and innocent Melksham Mum, should be turning to a bit of spanking to get me through any midlife crisis I maybe having??!!??

And it continues...
4. Freckles Sex
Eh? What? Mmmmm? Moving on....

5. Kids Garden
Awwww, that's nicer. That's a little bit more about what my wholesome family blog is about. Lots of pretty pictures of my garden for the children. Phew, my faith in blogworld has been restored.

I was also quite proud to get the following landing on my blog:
Brandon Flowers boots
Ben Affleck without shirt
Russell Brand beard

So, have any strange searches come to land on your blog?
Go and link up and share!
