Figure 8 from Schoolhouse Rock and "The Squid & the Whale" soundtrack. I love this song.
Here's the Squid and the Whale version.
And
It brings back memories of childhood - I watched Schoolhouse Rock as a small child, also the melody has a kind of nostalgic soft feel to it. It also reminds me of ice skating as a child - although I was never quite that talented.
There's a weirdly melancholy but comforting feel to it. Also the last two lyrics of the song always send a chill up my spine.

Date: 2020-08-06 06:03 am (UTC)I was sure that Joan Armatrading had a tune called "Down to Zero", but couldn't find it, so I suspect that was actually a lyric, not a title. Drat, zero would have been a cool number.
Finally after much searching-- Pop Sing 89 by REM, from their Green album.
This vid is supposedly the "official" one, and after watching it, I suddenly realized that there were several censor-y floating black bars present when it was on MTV that are not present in this version.
