Let’s go back to 1996. Leonardo Dicaprio is sporting a beautiful Hawaiian (unbuttoned) shirt. He is playing Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. ‘You and Me’ first debut on the soundtrack of the hit movie but it’s more than just a song from a film. This song has meaning. This song shows the powers of love. “It was always you and me always and forever”. The Wannadies convert a meaningful bunch of lyrics into a typical indie pop song.

Why is this a good throwback Thursday song? Listening to it just makes you feel warm inside, like listening to The Spice Girls would. An almost feel good pop song that has hints of indie rock, something you wouldn’t be ashamed blasting from your car or radio. Ever remember the time Gail Platt was driven into the canal in Coronation Street? This was the song they played (no offense to Gail, she lived if that was what you are all concerned about).
