What's in a Song ?

Following a recent rather embarassing incident at the gym involving me, my ipod on full volume, a loose headphones connection, a packed Swedish gym, and about 20 minutes of forgetability, I think it's time that I overhauled my musical interests. Looking at my current 30 hours of stored music, it's become apparent that the last time I overhauled my musical interests was around 1978. My mission now is to find modern music that sounds exactly like either the soundtrack from The Wedding Singer, or Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

They say that you can tell a lot about a person by the music they like. I guess that makes me, sad, outdated, and somewhat forgotten. Seems a fair enough assessment. But any, just out of curiosity, I checked through my playlists to see which songs I have given the most airtime to. The following list surprised me somewhat, although I'm not sure it helps my case for sympathy any:

It Aint What You Do: Banarama/Fun Boy Three
Say Goodbye: Hunters and Collectors
I Got You: Split Enz
Seven Seas: OMD
Forever Now: Cold Chisel
Leende Guldbruna Ă–gon: by whomever
Is This The Way To Amarillo: Tony Christie
Sound of the Suburbs: The Members
You Got Nothing I Want: Jimmy Barnes
Rise: Public Image Ltd
Open Book: The Rakes
Endicott: Kid Creole and the Coconuts
Going Underground: The Jam
Eloise: by whomever
Swear It's True: The Mockers

Let the hunt begin.
