I still listen to it often to this day - there is nothing better in sports theme songs. Even the utopian Olympian anthems that roll around every four years aren&#39;t as good!Jeremy Buddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16166255537422759605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442118553903305723.post-41845759632389679682015-07-01T15:47:24.284+10:002015-07-01T15:47:24.284+10:00Pretty sure I&#39;ve never heard the Katrina &amp;...Pretty sure I&#39;ve never heard the Katrina &amp; The Waves/Eric Burdon duet before, and am surprised it dented the top 100.<br /><br />I was a Bangles fan (but not fan enough to buy &#39;Everything&#39; until its reissue a couple of years ago), but never heard &#39;I&#39;ll Set You Free&#39; at the time. So it actually did quite well to chart here, given there was no video and no promotion for it at all, and that it was from an over a year old hit album.<br /><br />I thought &#39;Sleeping My Day Away&#39; sounded a bit Metallica-ish with the bass.<br /><br />I&#39;d forgotten how &#39;Oh Pretty Woman&#39; goes until hearing it here again.<br /><br />&#39;Runaway Horses&#39; was my favourite single from this album of Belinda&#39;s. It deserved to do much better.<br /><br />I love a good depressing song with intelligent lyrics like &#39;Nothing Ever Happens&#39;. I&#39;m sure it sounds even better in a Scottish town with gloomy weather.<br /><br />I like &#39;World In Motion&#39;, though it seems odd that they&#39;d even think of releasing it here, let alone it becoming a hit. I love the music just before and during the rap bit, though the &#39;rap&#39; itself is pretty dodgy, I thought. It seems like a strange move now for New Order to have done this at this point in their career. Gillian looks so uncomfortable in the video, even though she wrote the song from memory.<br /><br />You have to wonder what Martha Wash was thinking when asked to sing Engrish lines like those appearing in &#39;Everybody Everybody&#39;. I remember an article or review on &#39;Everybody Everybody&#39; in Number One where they commented on how many different mixes there were of the track, &quot;and doubtless even a rice pudding mix.&quot; I much prefer the single mix we and the UK got over the US one. I liked the video too, with Katrin colour-coordinated with the field she&#39;s running through.ohnoitisnathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990002373015074644noreply@blogger.com
