It was the first notable example of a teenage singer discovered on YouTube. I almost don’t have the words to describe how awful I’ve always found this song. Track 7: Sandi Thom – I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)ĪRGH. It sounds more like the kind of cheesy soft-rock you’d get from Kelly Clarkson or somebody like that.

I have no idea why McFly thought they could get away with this one.ĭull tune that has none of the edge you usually get with Pink.

Another good ‘point’ of this song is that it illustrates that there is a very good reason why nobody ever covers Queen songs, and that is because nobody has a hope of getting close to the brilliance of the originals. Actually, I shouldn’t say pointless, because the vocals are so poor compared to Freddie Mercury that it’s really obviously different. Terrible pointless cover of the Queen song. I’ve always loved this one, mainly ’cause it was used brilliantly in the Doctor Who episode ‘The Sound Of Drums’ when the Master wreaks havoc on the Earth. Nice bassline, nice ’80s-sounding dance track. I’ve never been able to hear any similarities, but this is still a great song – it’s just not as good as Hall & Oates.

This one has always been said to be inspired by the Hall & Oates track of the same name. Great vocals from Cee Lo Green, but there’s something about the tune I’ve always found a bit depressing. Let’s see what bands might have been playing the festival circuit that year. I already told you she loved the Thrills. This is how the world looked in July 2006, or at least it did if you were at T in the Park, with me and my mate Gemma looking suitably terrified in front of the ‘Maze of Terror’. Day 64 takes us to Now! #64, which came out on 24th July 2006.
