YAYIP Supplement March 2009: Oh look it's Lionel!

[anatol-merklich.livejournal.com]

"Grown Iraqi men get misty-eyed by the mere mention of his name. "I love Lionel Richie," they say. Iraqis who do not understand a word of English can sing an entire Lionel Richie song. He has performed in Morocco, Dubai, Qatar and Libya. There is obviously something up there. The more we talked, the more he theorized as to the reasons his music might be so popular here. He thinks it is because of the simple message in his music: Love." (ABC News)

Apols for slight lateness of this, your MARCH cavalcade of second-tier hits. This month, there's no less than seventeen tracks and thirteen proper 'tube videos, two of which incidentally have a video game theme. So...

[Poll #1388870]

February is led by Kyla's "Do You Mind", with a rather good 65% score, a bit ahead of St. Etienne at 60%.

It's really odd that either no one noticed or no one cared that LIONEL RICHIE CHANGES HIS MIND LIKE A GIRL CHANGES CLOTHES!
