Shite FM (Part Two)

Yesterday we took a look at the first thousand of Triple M’s shithouse “Top 2005″ song countdown. Time to see what absolute RUBBISH they’ve decided is worthy of a spot in the top 1000 songs of all time.

995 - This Love - Maroon 5
992 - Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnesa
943 - Thank You - Dido
892 - I’m Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
881 - Sing Hallelujah - Dr. Alban
776 - Like To Get To Know You Well - Howard Jones
766 - How Bizarre - OMC
714 - Poison Arrow - ABC (Another fine song - but totally random)
706 - Not The Sunscreen Song - John Safran
685 - I Love It When You Call Me Names - Joan Armatrading
664 - Unaustralian - Peter Berner (What the fuck? Shove your station promo novelty songs)
638 - Don’t Pay The Ferryman - Chris De Burgh
612 - Supermodel - Jill Sobule
602 - Chocolate Salty Balls - Chef
574 - She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby
562 - Too Shy - Kajagoogoo
526 - Waterloo - ABBA
484 - Power Of Love - Frankie Goes To Hollywood (Yet Two Tribes can’t even crack the hundred. What a piece of shit)
476 - Don’t Worry Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin
456 - Australiana - Austen Tayshus
430 - The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades - Timbuk3
402 - I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow
357 - Crunchy Granola Suite - Neil Diamond
318 - Some Like It Hot - Power Station (clear obsession with the tit scene in National Lampoon’s European Vacation)
307 - Drop The Pilot - Joan Armatrading
289 - Stutter Rap - Morris Minor and the Majors
235 - Addicted To Base - Josh Abrahams
218 - Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield (The whole thing?)
184 - Talkin’ Bout A Revolution - Tracy Chapman
169 - Wild Thing - Tone Loc
168 - United States of Whatever - Liam Lynch (For fucks sake - it’s a novelty song that was popular for 5 minutes)

Oh god it’s awful. We’ll look at the top 50 on Monday. Any money Jet is #1, ANY money. What are they thinking? Did they just decide to play their entire CD library no matter how shit it is?
