♫ Babooshka Babooshka Babooshka yaya♫

earlgraytay made an interesting post about romanticisation, through the lens of Pina Coladas and Babooshka. It's rather interesting. Plus, I think it's good to point out that romanticisation is often less about portraying something as good, and more about portraying it as exciting. (Though I obviously have to point out that it is a pattern that bad idea romance stories seem to be accused of romaticising things way more than 'gritty protagonist sets on life on fire' ones do, even though they both romanticise things. Though this may be due to 'romance' and 'romanticising' being ~false friends.)

Though that post reminded my of Babooshka. And Wuthering Heights. Which are both excellent songs. (Other things that are good for reminding you of Kate Bush songs: walking across a heath in -11 C windchill.)
