Blasted, bloody Corrs song. Their new one. Can't get the bloody thing out of my head. Keep singing it at random people. Sung it all the way round the supermarket today.

Is there a cure? Please help me. smiley - grovel

Apparently it's not their new song, but it hasn't stopped Radio 2 playing it all week.

It's called 'Old Town', in case anyone wonders what I'm blithering about.

Gnomon - time to move on

I never "know I shouldn't like" anything. Either I like or I don't like it. It's nothing to do with knowing.

There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho

"Is there a cure? Please help me"

Sure is - just hum 'We Like to Party' by the Vengaboys to yourself. Guaranteed to shift any earworm, and too vacuous to stick around afterwards.

Blues Shark - For people who like this sort of thing, then this is just the sort of thing they'll like


We're really talking 'guilty pleasures', here aren't we?

In which case, some (but not all) of the output of: Britney Spears, Christine Aguillera, Kylie Minogue, 2 Unlimited, Kellis and a host of others I can't remember right now.

But never the Corrs...

2 Unlimited as a guilty pleasure, in fact, ANY sort of pleasure?

Blues Shark, no!

Let's be clear. I do not own anything by them, I will never own anything by them, but they were in the right place at the right time foir me to enjoy them as the techno-lite that they were.

Just joshing with you mate smiley - biggrin, though I'm not sure I can agree with that last statement.

How about Avril Lavigne for annoying yet strangely likeable?

To be honest, the rat-faced whinger known to the planet as 'Avril Lavigne' makes my blood turn cold.

Oh, Anastacia. She has her moments of belting it out goodness, imho.
