"Why not try penitence?" is so "Thank U"-coded lawsuits could be filed!

(I've spared you the Phil Collins cover of "True Colours".) #TOTP

Monochromatic Mansun melodrama that gets only creepier knowing what's happened with key band personnel in subsequent years #TOTP: youtu.be/BnyHcDZHvko?...

Some inspired nonsense, and a big fat Top 20 hit #TOTP: youtu.be/DWDnnjh1Cj4?...

Never mind Spielberg's JURASSIC PARK-SCHINDLER'S LIST combo. In 1998, as well as overseeing AMERICAN HISTORY X's kerb-stomping, Tony Kaye directed the video for a Des'Ree song with even worse lyrics than "Life" ("See that man/Over there/He's a Leo/Check his hair") #TOTP: youtu.be/BOFeDcpR4vQ?...

Last night's #TOTP breakers would have included Urban Takeover's (pretty good, because relatively restrained) drum-and-bass remix of Luniz's "I Got 5 On It": youtu.be/ZpSwiyJbGIo?...

It's been a while since I last tuned in to "the hit parade" [Buscemi.gif], but maybe they've changed the rules. (One of the K-POP DEMON HUNTERS songs was #1 forever over the summer, so it'd be pretty weird if they skipped it.)

I'm never sure if they can play these animated songs on the Beeb - seeing as they're effectively promotional content for another channel...

Now awaiting his appearance on the BBC's Sound of 2026 list.
