Tom: We talked about her new single yesterday, so it seems like we should evaluate her one big international hit. Because I could remember the chorus clearly… but none of the rest of it.
And off the top of my head, I still don’t remember any of it. So let’s listen.
Tim: RIGHT. Yeah, really don’t remember hearing it at all, so I’ll review it as a new track.
Tom: What? No. There’s no way you missed this. It was massive. It’s a cultural reference. How on earth did you miss this?
Tim: No idea. But I did.
Tom: Anyway: having listened to it again a couple of times now, I realise that I still can’t remember the verses.
Tim: Fair dos – they’re not hugely memorable, but it’s nonetheless a good track, chorus and forgettable verses alike.
Tom: This song really is just a setup for an incredibly good chorus — a few repetitive lines that made it everywhere fifteen years ago. Sometimes that’s all a song needs.
Tim: Yes, indeed – that chorus is a good one, and the verses have a decent enough melody to them that with or without the lyrics if I had heard them way back when I may well still now have had an idea of what the song was. I didn’t, so I’ll never know for certain, but it’s good fun to listen to. That much is true.
