This is one of the first vinyl's ever bought under my own steam. As a result it got played to death, but I never got tired of it and still haven't!

The rolling bass matches the constant flow of lyrics from the rapper (not sure I ever figured which one was who!) so that there's no let up. It's a great track and one I always find myself keeping pace with, although if I'm not concentrating I do end up tongue tied in parts.

If Rap was included on a karaoke night then this would be my choice (is that actually a recommendation or not?).

The Fear - Lily Allen

Lily Allen - The Fear (Explicit) on MUZU.

I've always had a soft spot for Ms Allen with her original musical style that set off a spate of clones and pioneered MySpace as a source of finding new musical talent.

This track especially, which launched her second album confirmed her wit and ability to craft an above average pop song. In fact, compared to a lot of other pop efforts its probably on a genius level!

Sometimes I'm embarrased to admit to knowing all the words to a song. In this case though I'm happy to find myself singing along with it as there's a synergy in the sentiment behind the song and my own thoughts and feelings on the subject of celebrity.

Plus she's really hot in this video! (oh dear!)

Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby

Okay, so here's another song I know all the words too.

It's a very funky tune and I remember liking the video at the time.

I have no idea why it's imprinted on my brain so well, maybe it's the sassiness?

Tricky - Black Steel

I was doing some programming earlier on today and was plugged into my MP3's when this came up.

About halfway through I realised I knew all the words!

I think this means I have to create a list!!!!  (No, really.  I do!)

So Black Steel is the inaugral inductee into my 'SongsIKnowAllTheWordsTo' list.

I'll update it as and when.

BTW 2 Unlimited's 'No Limit' does not qualify, as much as I may be tempted.
