Harsh. Millionaire Sweeper by Kenickie would have got my vote. “Hey Punka, I’ve got ambition” does make me wince, even if it was patently true – Lauren Laverne to replace Jonathan Ross?

Very short, very bittersweet, very Bronx: both girlgroup sassy and northern soul springy.

Oh those girls just know how enticing he is; “Sweeter than sugar, kisses like wine – oh he’s so fine!” Even though he’ll send you flowers and paint the town with another guy, and all his sweet talk is mere sweet talkin’ lies.

Then the swoony, worldly wise question where all three voices suddenly unify; “Why do I love him like I do – ooh?”

And towards the end there’s a tremendous payoff. I know of few lines in pop delivered with the force of lived experience than the warning;

“STAY AWAY FRON HIM! STAY AWAY FROM HIM! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!”

There’s such a sense of life lived and lessons learned in this glorious song.

I know it as ‘In The Meantime’ by Spacehog. Somehow, in the mid-90s, glam had a brief re-emergence in the charts, and Spacehog, with their high profile celebrity girlfriends (Kate Moss and Liv Tyler at the time), along with Placebo led the revival.

Contains the lyric ‘When you see me smiling, you’ll know things have gotten worse’, which is the most emo lyric ever in one of the most non-emo songs of all time. Just because the Tops are drowning in a miasma of liquid loneliness doesn’t mean they need to stop snapping those fingers! You can’t lose your cool in that situation.

Probably for the best as the ‘review’ was more a rambling description of an underage drinking, glitter eyeshadow and fishnet wearing and homemade miniskirted gig going me. It was different in those days.

Anyway, the 38th best song is clearly Tarzan Boy by Baltimora. Unless we’ve already had it, that is. I do not recall.

Just kidding!
