Day 13 is a Friday! Is it unlucky? Is it bollocks! Anyway, the theme today is songs that are a guilty pleasure, which is a slightly weird concept because one thing you learn in permissive Prague is that not to feel guilt for your pleasures. To the songs though....
Track 1 - "Can't Get You Out of my Head" by Kylie Minogue
Always reminds me of the old joke "what is the difference between driving a Skoda and putting your hand in Kylie's top? You feel a bigger tit in a Skoda!". This song though is fantastic!
Track 2 - "The Final Countdown" by Europe
Hair band, 1980s, what's not to hate? The fact that Europe were playing when I first kissed my wife? I guess it helps to know what a Friday night in Lucerna means!!
Track 3 - "Oh Diane" by Fleetwood Mac
Stevie Nicks is apparently something of a distant cousin, but driving the country roads around Charlottesville listening to Fleetwood Mac at full volume is such a great way to feel happy, and this song just tops the drive off to a tee.
If I can only pick 1 of the three, the Europe have to take the biscuit. So much wrong with it, but I love that song.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 2
So the theme for today's song is "your least favourite song", which I assume is just a nice way of saying, the song you hate most.
Here are the contenders:
Track 1 - "How Soon is Now" - T.a.T.u.
First a couple of qualifying statements, I love The Smiths, I love this song, I quite T.a.T.u. but this must be the most perfect storm of shit in the history of humanity. They simply do not have the charisma, vocal range or anything else involving talent to pull this song off. Shite, utter shite. So bad, I can't even listen to the end of it.
Track 2 - "The One and Only" - Chesney Hawkes
Utter crap. End. Of. Story.
Track 3 - "Especially For You" - Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue
See above. Their acting in Neighbours was piss poor, and this was no improvement. Gut wretchingly awful.
How quite one chooses from this collection of dross is beyond me, but for pure crime against a great song, by a great band, T.a.T.u. must take the award for my least favourite song, and no amount of faux lesbian action on stage can redeem them.
