I might be out on a limb here...

...but the new McFly song "Transylvania" is the best pop single of the year!! The video is on YouTube, and is on all the time on the Hits.

Yeah! McFly, classic or dud?

CLEARLY classic (I have not heard this particular song yet) because they are enjoying themselves, bless.

ooh will watch when I get home.

McFly have so far only had one good song I think but they are nevertheless very very classic: that one song is amazing and they have a penchant for taking their clothes off which is an example to all popstars and to be encouraged.

Sounds like 10cc! Or in fact precisely like Ben Folds ten years ago!

This might be the first McFly song I have taken even the slightest iota of pleasure in, and I watched Just My Luck so I know what I'm talking about.

Can't tell because of Youtube quality, but if they're supposed to be completely out of sync in the band shots to make it more like a silent film, this video is pretty much perfect.

OMG, it's like MCR + europop! I love it. The pop-punk "Biology."

It is the most amazing thing ever- I cannot describe how happy it made me to realise that they had that kind of thing in them.

Also, Dougie sings, which makes a wonderful thing a truly special McFly "moment." And I like the fact they look like they're girls dressed up as boys in the bits of the video where they aren't cross-dressing.

Of course I have an insane soft spot for McFly due to Hormones and also they were the band wot got me into pop music proper and stopped me heading off in a terrifyingly Modest Mouse-shaped direction.
