It's a bit of a mixed bag. I'm not sure I'd call The Beatles a boyband in the Westshoite meaning of the word.

I do not want to see Honey G jumping .
I think 4oD might do a reasonable jog of 'Hold On'.
I have visions of Elfish with a host of Elfish clones in a scary ott Girls Aloud version of the video.

(which, wierdly, I was telling ds , was number one the week he was born. Christmas 2002).

Off to a firework display, having only just warmed up from watching dd1 play football this morning. See y'all later, possibly a bit late.

This is a weird song choice, other than us oldies who has ever heard it?

Girl with fringe is gorgeous. (Biased here... DD1 has had a fringe cut like that. Drastic, but I think I like it!)

These are sounding better tonight but not sure they have mass appeal

fairy they stood up

Destiny, yes, i know we make comments, but its not poison like that! This isnt too bad. Social media has a lot to answer for.

I have never heard this song.

Back in the day, this was on Atlantic 252 ALL THE TIME.

ALL THE TIME.

But they do sound like cats getting strangled when they all sing at the same time.

Their voices are awful

It's at the end of Bridesmaids too

Can Sharon smile, though? Doesn't she need advance warning?

Atlantic 252....blast from the past!

Its on Bridesmaids film too! As i wrote that, Shazza said it.
I do like that song.

Shone, not shined.

Do we need a new girl band, Louis? Do we?

I think that fringe girl and half-jeans girl are a lot stronger in the solo parts the others.

Sharon's smile is managed by remote control, along with the rest of her face

Atlantic 252!

They always played a lot of Martika and Snap! too.

Pikachu- it was all we get a reliable signal for in deepest Wales at the time.

Raahh, not really. Little mix are around in that slot, although the latest one of theirs is a bit shouty!

I quite liked this song (4od) but then maybe its more of the best out of a shit bunch.

1990. Happy days.

I discovered this week ( on a conspiracy thread) that Finland might not be a country, there isn't even land there- it's totally made up by Russia. I wonder if Saara knows anything about it

That Saturday's constant blinking is driving me mad.

80s- maybe Louis meant 'new girl band with clothes on', Little mix are filling the slot for 'girl band minus clothes' .

Huh? Finland isn't a country? How? Why? Elaborate, please.
