i think i love you

this morning, feelings of disappointment washed over me as i listened to voice of the beehive's "i think i love you". i've loved this song since 7th grade, but things have changed in the past few years. i found out that my favorite girl band from middle school was not the musical mastermind i thought they were. the song is...a remake! not only is it a remake, it was the partridge family that did it first!
at about the same time, i realized that bananarama wasn't as creative as i thought either. they weren't the ones who came up with "venus" or "love in the first degree"! were any girl bands of the 80s original? even the bangles redid simon and garfunkel!
these feelings are very similar to how i felt when i found out that the pippi longstocking movies were dubbed into english.
pippi, voice of the beehive, bananarama...how could you all lie to me for so many years? i feel betrayed, deceived, and in general disappointed.
