Rugbyfan, I had completely forgotten. I am very Sorry. I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all. Will have it up on Monday.

How about that by Nirvana. forget the boybad stuff!
@Bodger
Carry on, carry on.
As if nothing really matters…

*Pops in and does a bit of hovering while singing I want to break free*
Why were you hovering when you should have been hoovering? :P
He sucks at Hoovering?
I was hovering while hoovering.

Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of a crush for Stay by East 17, because it’s the 3rd best “that time of year” song ever.
How can you favour one turd over another?
roll it in glitter
Don’t you oppress me Scottser! Them lads on the front didn’t die so you could stop me liking a bare minimum of “that time of year” songs.
dare i ask what’s the best and 2nd best?
I’d have said so –
wasn’t the story at the time that Tony Mortimer had a solo contract then Take That broke so they asked him to bring his mates along too….
That was supposed to be about East 17 :)
yeah that’s it, I think
so not ‘manufactured’ like boyzone or whatever. east 17 were a lot cooler.
I met a barman from the academy a couple of years ago and he was telling me that dublin gig was the saddest thing he’d ever seen
Opinions vary but for me 2nd best is U2’s version of “Baby, please come home” and top of the list is The Festive Spirits “That’s when you know it’s Christmas”.
actually, repro, do East 17 technically qualify as a boy band?
It’s not like I’m an expert Brother B.
‘Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of crush for Stayin’ Alive by The Bee Gees, because they turned Boys2Men’
‘Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of crush for Back For Good by Take That, because purely in terms of phonetics, the line ‘Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup’ is the aural equivalent of crack cocaine, just the sounds made by the words, all those perfectly spaced hard consonants clicking out of the speaker, still gives me shivers.
beat me to it, nigel
Likewise.
yis all need your soft scaldies examined
Fine, let me know when suits.
Will… will there be eye contact?
yes, well one gets a bit lazy and wanders, but not so you’d notice

My man Fat Freddy got a wandering eye too
if this is a boy and, can I have this one please ?
boy band
you can get away with the kissing, not so much the eye contact
Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of crush for “When You Say Nothing at All” by Ronan Keating, because it was the “First Dance” song when I got married. Which always cracks me up, ’cause it’s basically saying “shut it, I like you best when you’re quiet!”
get out, cian
On rereading this I realise I explained badly. It was the most popular song for the first dance.
We didn’t choose it.
‘wedding planner
Had ya
Fancy
Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of crush for Deep by East 17 because it’s a soulful, upbeat rap-ballad that takes inspiration from the Trip-hop scene from the early 90s and has no place in a boy-band discography. Regarding the video, urban camouflage will always be cool.
Keep on Movin by 5ive is a TUNE.
In fairness.
Feck it –
Myself and Lady Bertie have a soft spot for “It’s all about you” by McFly.
(sickener for me if she’s been singing “it’s all about Hugh” all these years)
‘Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of crush for Show Your Hand by Super Furry Animals, because its straightforward,lazy,hazy sunshine pop’

but I’m off the gargle and happily immune to loosing my better judgement in the sentimental crooning of fit fellas
Despite a deep love of great music, I have a crush on Daydream Believer by The Monkees because they were the first manufactured boy band and are still the best.
Good call
Backstreet Boys – As long as you love me

Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of crush for Jump by Kris Kross because it was a seriously cool and super street rap song. Precise and sharp lyrics with an amazing video. We probably wouldn’t have the likes of Eminem today except for these two rapping rapscallions. I never did get the Eagles baseball jacket that Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly wore in the video but me and my mate, when we were out of eye shot of me Ma, would take off our jeans and but em back on backwards and strut about as cool as you could be. The oul lad in the local newsagents barred us from coming in with our jeans backwards,we think he thought it was some sort of shoplifting ploy, what did he know, the old square eh?
“Don’t try to compare us to another bad little fad
I’m the Mac and I’m bad give you something that you never had
I’ll make ya bump hump wiggle and shake your rump
Cause I’ll be kicking the flavor that makes you wanna Jump
How high? Real high! Cause I’m just so fly
A young lovable, hugable type of guy
And everything is to the back with a little slack
Cause inside out, it’s wiggida wiggida wiggida wack”
Jump – Kris Kross – 1992

Easy as 123..
Abc by the ultimate boy band ladies and gents i gove you, the jackson 5.
Give, even
There is only one credible answer to this charade. Pass the dutchie by musical youth. They were boys and they were a band. Memes would approve too.
Bom biddley biddley bom
Despite a deep love of great music, I have a bit of a crush for Double Lovin’ by The Osmonds because when released in ’71 at the height of the free love movement, they solidified their place as the spearhead of the sexual revolution with a song that opens up the possibility of multiple lovers for women in this important time for sexual equality.
No longer did women have to pick a favourite member of their favourite pop group but could Now daydream about Donny AND Merrill taking them for picnics or the movies or whatever.
yep wins !
it was the picnic that swung it
I knew I missed you. ;)
