FMM: These "Things"
In celebration of Emma Stone's 2nd Oscar win for "Poor Things," today's Friday Magic Madness song is something about "Things."
Back in 1990, this song was a fixture in almost all radio stations. It's one of the big hits of C+C Music Factory - a band synonymous to 90s dance hits.
"Things that make me go hmmmm," is such a singable and danceable ditty. It has simple lyrics, an infectious beat, and a happy, upbeat vibe.
Things that make a song LSS-worthy.

From Tokyo to Earth
That's the thing about airports in Tokyo. You make it a point to arrive early. You have more than enough time to spare, and end up roaming around the stores inside NRT or HND. And eventually, you'll end up buying a thing or two, or three, or four.
Aside from my usual loot of Japanese cookies and snacks, one thing that caught my eye was a perfume called Polo Earth.
We grew up with Polo perfume around the house. Our relatives from the US would always send the ubiquitous green bottle of Polo perfume to all the guys in the family. It sort of became the signature scent around the house.
As the years progressed, they would send Polo Crest, Polo Blue and Polo Sport. So, we had the whole gamut of Polo.
But this one is new. This one is fresh. This one is green. This one is citrus.
Needless to say, this one came home to MNL.
