It's the last Freaky Friday for the year, and time to unveil the Top 12.
I had originally only planned for a Top 5, but really, who was I kidding?
I was never going to be content with five.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave comments.
I've compiled the list from these results and tried to list at least one of the Freaky Friday choices from those who dropped me a line.
The Top 12 will also have a link back to the original Freaky Friday post from which it came.
A man who wears grey, roller skates and prefers his tops tucked into his pants.
Did he roller skate to the shoot? or just lace up when he got there?
Perhaps we'll never know.
Hope you have enjoyed looking back at a few Freaky Friday favourites.
Many thanks again to all who joined in.
If I missed your fave this time round, please let me know
and I'll make sure it's included in the next Best Of!
(It's been great fun compiling this list and looking back on these old favourites,
so I don't think it'll be the last)
Happy Friday!

"Buy the World a Coke" Hilltop Coca-Cola commercial first aired in the USA in 1971.
The commercial features a multicultural collection of teenagers, portraying a positive message of hope and love.
The jingle proved so popular it was recorded as a single by The Hillside Singers, and later by The New Seekers as a full length song "I'd like to Teach the World to Sing" with all Coke references dropped. The song was a hit and both groups had success with the single.
In the mid seventies, another version of the commercial was filmed
for the Christmas holiday season.
Might all seem abit hearts and flowers for some.
But I reckon the world could do with a bit of hearts and flowers at the moment.
And besides that, I like it when someone buys me a Coke and keeps me company.
1) Seven people - Gilligan, The Skipper, Professor, Mary Ann, Ginger, Mr & Mrs Howell.
2) Thunderoad 3) Dancin' in the Dark 4) Sam. He was a butcher.
5) 88 miles per hour 6) Heart 7) Charles in Charge
8) Never expose Mogwai's to brightlight (Particularly sunlight or they will die),
Never get them wet (They Multiply), Never feed them after midnight (They cocoon & turn evil).
9) Diana Prince 10) Big Trouble in Little China
It's not really a Christmas song - but a song about the holiday season all the same.
What are you doing New Years Eve? was released by Nancy Wilson on her 1963 album
Yesterdays Love Songs/Today's Blues.
I first heard the song on an Andy Williams Christmas Album
(some love Bing at Christmas, Frank or Dean - but for me, it's gotta be Andy).
But rather than show the original clip (sorry Nancy) here is a great version by friends
Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) & Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception)
covering Nancy Wilson's original.
Hope you enjoy!
Ukulele looks like fun.
Reckon I might give it a crack one day.

There is a new Retro Cafe in Frankston - eeny meeny!
Pippa (Ouchflower) and I were pumped to hear of it's recent opening,
so we mosied on down this week to check it out!
eeny meeny cafe is situated in the heart of Frankston at 96 Young Street.
The cafe is decorated with retro & vintage furniture and wares, and owners
Robbie and Sandra have created a really cool, relaxed space.
There is also a fantastic covered courtyard out the back - perfect for functions.
Along with a great menu, the cafe serves organic, fairtrade & rainforest alliance coffee, organic leaf teas and home made baked treats and cakes including one of my old school favourites - Chocolate Crackles! (Also loved the counter top record player spinning some great tunes - very cool).
Great food, great service and lovely staff. We'll definitely be back!!!

Had to get a pic of the gorgeous water jug. (Sandra tells me it was purchased from the man!!)
The Karate Kid - one of my all time favourite 80's films. The kind I watch EVERY single time it's on TV - even though I've seen it 100 times before.
This clip is a great turning point in the movie, and I think one of the best scenes in the film.
After days of completing what he believes to simply be chores, Daniel confronts Mr. Miyagi about his lack of Karate training and learns not everything is as it seems.
