Shiver by Coldplay


This is Shiver by Coldplay and was suggested by  José Manuel T5.  One critic summed Coldplay up with two words 'wilted spinach.'  What do you think?

Eurovision 2012 UK entry


This is 'Love will set you free' by  Engelbert Humperdinck and was England's entry in this years Eurovision song contest.  The contest is seen as bit of a joke by people in England and even the television presenters often make fun of the contest.  England came second to last this year.

Stronger by Kelly Clarkson


Patricia T5 suggested Stronger (What doesn't kill you) by Kelly Clarkson.  The song is about getting over a bad relationship.  The title comes from a saying 'What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger.'

I'm a banana


This song was suggested by Dharma in T3.  This has to be the craziest song ever!  Are you a banana?

Stereo Hearts


This is a song suggested by Jesus J. in T5.  I think the song has a great melody.  Athough, as with most rap songs, the lyrics can be hard to understand. Their unusual name comes from where they decided to form a band - in a gym class!

How Sweet to be an Idiot


This is 'How Sweet to be an Idiot.' Do you prefer this song? Do you think it sounds like 'Whatever'?


Whatever by Oasis


This song is currently being played on an advert on Spanish TV. The original is by a Manchester band called Oasis. I like this song because it has a great melody and reminds me of sitting on Brighton beach with my friends. 

Unfortunately, Oasis were successfully sued by Neil Innes, another song writer, because he believed it sounded like a song he had already written.  The song, from the early 1970's, was called 'How sweet to be an Idiot'.
