Naff Song, Nice Song

It's like 'Can't Cook, Won't Cook', only Neil Diamond's getting in on the action. ...Whatever happened to 'Can't Cook, Won't Cook'? Did Ainsley Harriot get too old to shimmy? And why was it called that, because they seemed to do a lot of cooking to me!

These songs are all utterly naff-tacular, but they're also awesome-tacular.

1. Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners



"We are much too young and clever."

2. Hi Ho Silver Lining - Jeff Beck



Various clips of Obama to Hi Hi Silver Lining - it's got to be done.

3. Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond

DUH DUH DUUUUUUHHHHHH...!!

4. Faith - George Michael



I have ridiculous memories of listening to this song whilst doing my paper round on cold Sunday mornings.

5. Bad Case Of Loving You - Robert Palmer

6. We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel



7. Easy Lover - Phil Collins



8. Crocodile Rock - Elton John



ELTON JOHN ON THE MUPPETS DRESSED LIKE CARMEN MIRANDA'S FEATHER DUSTER. YES.

8. Robert De Niro's Waiting - Bananarama



...Talkin' Italian.

10. Tell Her About It - Billy Joel



Utterly fabulous. One of the best song writers in the history of the world. With such good advice, it's rather worrying that he's been divorced three times.

Honourable mention goes to the entire Savage Garden catalogue, but I just couldn't face listening to their godamn whining today, or most other days for that matter.
