34 (45 RE) Atomic Kitten: Eternal FlameHas someone been singing this on “Pop Idol” ?

20 Brian Harvey and the Refugee Crew: Loving YouHaven’t heard this track yet, but at a recent record signing, despiteadvertising a grand total of ZERO people turned up – and neither did Harvey.

4 Britney Spears: I’m a Slave 4 UNice outfit with the snake at her concert, shame about the song.

1 Afroman: Because I Got High *1st Week at No.1*

A simple tune about a man who fails to do all manner of tasks plannedthat day because he smoked something and got high. A very entertaining song.

Dominator’s Top 50 of 2000

43. REM – The Great BeyondMaking No.3 in Feb last year, one of the singles-of-the-week went to thisfor this track from the film about Taxi’s Andy Kaufman who is no longer withus and is portrayed by Jim Carrey.

REM prove that Michael Stipe could sing the phone book’s contents and it wouldstill be interesting, as this song includes something so bizarre as “pushingan elephant up the stairs”.
