Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 52 - El DeBarge (Who's Johnny)
I remember the song not being as widely available in the UK (I don't think it even charted here), and this was in a time before the internet, so opportunities to listen to it were rare. As I recall, the song only appeared a few times in the film (incomplete) - in a short scene when Stephanie Speck, played brilliantly by Ally Sheedy, is showing Johnny 5 around her home, and later when Johnny 5 has commandeered a Nova Robotics van.
A great tune, from a great movie.

Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 51 - Ace of Base (Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry)
Released as a single from their 1996 album "The Bridge", it never even charted in the UK (shame on us brits for not buying it)., but it did reasonably well in the rest of Europe and the US.
Pure 90s. The Swedes sure know how to make good music. Abba... Ace of Base....
Enjoy!

Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 50 - Mike Oldfield (Moonlight Shadow)
So, today's song is Moonlight Shadow. Released in May 1983 as a single from the album Crisis, it spent 19 weeks in the UK Top 40 charts, peaking at an impressive number 4.
Also, another reason why I have picked this song today is because my daughter Kayleigh is working so hard to play it on her own on the keyboard. Check the video out below of one of her attempts.
