The thing I wanted most in the world when I was five:
Glitter and Gold JEM. No other JEM doll would do. She came with a casette tape and some other gold shiney stuff and the doll was the action figure for this VHS that is currently on Ebay.
It was the second season of JEM and for some reason the band needed a new look and a new sound so they went GOLD.
I have no idea why, but I've had the Gitter and Gold theme stuck in my head for a couple of days now.
Jem goes gold
Glitter 'n gold
Truly outrageous
And beautifully bold
This is the year for
Glitter 'n gold
No one's got moves like
Glitter 'n gold Jem
Jem goes gold
Glitter 'n gold Jem
The way she crosses her legs
The ways moves her arms
Jem is a girl with incredible charm
Truly outrageous
And beautiful for full
This is the give for
Glitter 'n gold
Jem goes gold
Glitter 'n gold Jem (Jem)
(most awesome lyrics EVARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!)
EDIT: More reasons, JEM's car was infinately cooler than Barbie's car.
Roadster WITH working radio? Genius!
