    Yeah...plus with a little imagination you can easily interpret it as an extended menstrual metaphor and use it as a PMT song :D

    I think Club Tropicana by Wham is a great pop song, but I can see why others wouldnt.

    Together in Electric Dreams also brilliant, but probably not.

    If Biology and Love Machine were sung by anyone else than Girls Aloud, I could probably admit to liking them. Shame they arent really.

    Love Machine is a great pop song. In fact, , the choice of songs which Girls Aloud have brought out have been really really good. Nearly every one a belter. I mean, it's a conveyor belt and it's ruthless, but the team they have is *nearly* as good as the Goffin/King, Lieber/Stoller, Holland/Dozier/Holland boiler room teams from Tin Pan Alley in the 60s.

    I don't rate the band particularly much, i only know them as the Ginger one, the one from Derry, the footballers wife, the blonde slutty looking one and the other one.

    Where do I begin...some of my guilty pleasures include George Michael*, Grace Jones, Bony M & Erasure.

    Yet I can happily listen to Metallica & Motorhead and feel no sense of contradiction.

    *Yes, I've been known to play 'Outside' once or twice before I go out...

    Both perfectly good songs, I think. Though I prefer The White Stripes version of "Jolene"

    Surely the most innapproriate use of the verb "looking" ever used in a song, considering the video

    "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart. It's so bad, but actually not too bad in a cheesy, synth-driven early-80s way. For shame!

    I love anything by aqua, barbie girl, doctor jones and witch doctor by the cartoons. I would probably get shot for admitting to it.

    I don't feel like dancing by the Scissor Sisters. :o

    At a wedding recently, I discovered that I knew all the words while on the dance floor, throwing a few shapes to it.

    Drink is a terrible thing.

    I absolutely detest 50Cent but I have to admit I like "Ayo Technology".

    I love the music - it's like the music that you'd have while fighting a supervillain on a Nintendo NES game. :)

    And the video is pretty cool. In fact if ANYONE other than 50Cent released it it would probably be on my Zen.
