New entries from No.41-75 :
[Always]
A very dull reworking of Paul Weller’s Wild Wood, where all wordsare replaced with “Why” and, baffingly, he even got involved as well!
[Pop Life]
A dumb video with a hot brunette to accompany what is a fast and funky dance track from start to finish.It’s the phrasing and the key changes which make this one different from most of the rest. A must-hear.
The Ladies’ Bras
[Now We Are Ten]
Dreamt up by Danny Baker, this lasts little more than half-a-minute, but isbrilliant.
Potential Break Up Song
[Insomniatic]
Fast, funky and frenetic track from two incredibly hot blonde babes with a brilliantly fun video.I hope they go far (especially if it’s as far as my front door… but not while I’m out, since that wouldbe rather a pisser)
If You Were a Sailboat
[Pictures]
You’d drift off into unconsciousness with this tedious piece of shite from MsBoring.
Sexy No! No! No!
A pointless, raucous mess. Yes, they’re in PVC outfits, but that doesn’tdisguise a crap song.
Click here to see the video
[Made of Bricks]
Talk about the Emperor’s New Clothes. Just what is the big deal with this talentless girl? It’s a case of,”If you can’t think of a decent lyric, just shout in Cockney and all will work out.”

Tired Of Being Sorry
[Insomniac]
Enrique sings a song about being infatuated with a scantily-clad woman walking down the high street whilehe seems to be waiting for a bus, but then she seems to be working in an S&M dungeon and there are otherhotter girls in there. And is she a vampire, anyway?
What a load of old nonsense, but you can see the video here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X86S5oZzzh4
In The Air Tonight
[Hits]
Brought back into the charts as a result of a man in a gorilla suit playing the drums, all apparentlyadvertising Cadbury’s Dairy Milk.
Surely, the reason people eat Cadbury’s Dairy Milk is because it tastes yummy and it’s the kind of thing thatused to be played during Miami Vice?
[All The Lost Souls]
I wish he *would* go back to 1973.

feat. Victoria Bergsman:
Young Folks
[Writer’s Block]
Finally my answer has come – THIS is that song with all the whistling. Okay, sothat could make it the Skye Boat Song with Des O’Connor and Roger Whittaker,but if you’re thinking what I’m thinking, then you know which song I’m talkingabout.
She’s So Lovely
[Scouting For Girls]
Love this song, and the hottie in the video is a model called Louise Glover (google for her images, butnot from work!).
See the video here.
[The Reminder]
Cool song with a well-made and choreographed video. Simple concept and carried out brilliantly.
It’s currently being used as backing to the advert for the Apple Fanboy’s Ipod Nano.

[Sean Kingston]
No idea what this is about, but it’s not had many good write-ups on Amazon(click on the cover art).

[Changes]
Not a bad track, but they’ve done better. Still, at least it stopped Shayne Wardgetting to No.1.
