Hello and welcome to The Week Junior show. I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Joe and E from

the Week Junior, the magazine Making Sense of the world for 8 to 14 year olds.

Now, in a week where a very powerful storm swept across the US and Japan's pandas returned to China,

we're going to be talking about some of the other stories that entertained and interested the weak junior team.

Make sure you're listening closely because at the end of this episode, we'll be asking a question about what you've heard. And if you answer it correctly,

you could win a prize. Now, in this week's issue, there is an interview with author Jeffrey

Bwachi for National Storytelling Week, where he revealed the song that cheers him up when he's sad

is Fire in These Hills by Imagine Dragons. What a great choice. Now, it got me thinking, what song cheers you up when he's sad is fire in these hills by Imagine Dragons.

What a great choice.

Now, it got me thinking what song cheers you up when you're sad? Eve, go for it. Well, my favourite film is Tangled and I really love the song. I've got a dream where all the characters are in a tavern and they're all sharing their hopes and dreams. I just think it's such a fun, upbeat song, so I'd probably go for that one. That is a great choice for a Disney song, absolutely. Joe, how about you?

Well, well, I'm sad, I really like listening to some old pop punk or pop songs from the Nauties. It's a stuff like Busted, McFlight, Atomic Kitten. And a song I really like, even though it's quite cheesy, is Thunderbirds A Go by Busted. I think it was written for the film Thunderbirds from 2004, although I've never actually seen the film, but the song is cracking.

And it starts off with the actual like Thunderbirds theme, doesn't it? And you're like,

it does, it does. Immediately you're into it. Eve, you reminded me thinking of Disney songs,

Zero to Hero from Hercules, that...

Love that song.

Oh, my God.

One of the best feel-good songs ever.

But also, another classic for me is a song called Spanish Flea, which listeners may not know, but I'll do a little rendition of right now.
