The History Of Pop Part 41 aka I-I-I've notice you around, I find you very attractive...

After the HIGH DRAMA of Now 40, the next instalment was always going to be a letdown - some lame tracks, end-of-98 filler and what looks to me a clear winner. But I've been surprised before, for instance by "Because We Want To" overhauling "Teardrop" and winning the last Now poll (with Fatboy Slim in 2nd). Billie and Fatboy are back this time, mixing it up with the Vengaboys and old now 'favourite' BIG PHIL (no, not that Big Phil). UB40 are there too! It's just like old times!

Sham Rock were a novelty "Oirish" linedancing act. The lyrics went:

Tell me ma'
When I go home
The boys won't leave
The girls alone

It was like having an American come to your house to discuss their "Irish ancestry".

uh oh i have an URGE TO VOTE FOR IT! help me succumb succumb

If you vote for it I'll send an army of sharp-toothed, razor-clawed killer felines to have 'words' with you. DON'T DO IT!

(also, it is a tune that my mum used to sing when I was tiny)

(also, I bet JDC *loves* it and that should be reason enough to avoid it like fifteen plagues)
