Please, Miss, I knew number 4* or rather, I sang to myself "but most of the time I feel like being dry" and then tried to work out where my brain recovered that from??

*I know I came in late, but I've got a note from my mum :-)

I note that you're not admitting to the Bananarama.

*cough* I could sing you the chorus
but I prefer this chorus today (can you spot it)
Fighting crime, trying to save the world,
Here they come just in time...

Blossom, commander and the leader
Bubbles, she is the joy and the laughter
Buttercup, she's the toughest fighter
Powerpuffs save the day...
Fighting crime, trying to save the world
Here they come just in time, the Powerpuff Girls
Fighting crime, trying to save the world
Here they come just in time, the Powerpuff Girls
Powerpuff!

They made an anime version but it was no good (IMHO) cos it's the distinctive animation style that makes PPG great. (and the vilains, especially 'Him' *shiver*)
The artwork in "Powerpuff Girls Z" was too good
(oops am Otaku, will get coat)
