The Perfect Pop Song

[SpookyFrank]

The perfect pop song is 'I wanna be sedated' by the ramones.

 

[Meltingpot]

Must have a tune you can whistle (even if badly).

Off the top of my head, "Single Girl" by Sandy Posey is as near perfect as a pop song gets. (Maybe I'm biased, I love that song).

Anyone remember Soldier, Komar and Melamid's Most Unwanted Song project?

They did a Most Popular Song as well, but it was toss. Naturally, the song that they predicted can only be enjoyed by two hundred people in the entire world is genius.

My favourite pop song is Annie's Heartbeat.

Trying to intellectualise it:
1) she has a cute voice
2) it strikes a certain balance between innocence and daftness
3) it's well produced
4) i love the way it ends

[Flashman]

Nah, it has to be by lasses.

Come on Cheesy give us some lasses.

 

[rollinder]

Nirvana weren't pop

 

[Flashman]

Belle And Sebastian - I'm A Cuckoo, is not by lasses but is up there.

anything amy winehouse does is radio perfect and divine.

valerie, rehab, absolute perfection.

other girl singers i like - bjork, pj harvey, erykah badu and so on - amazing and better than amy in ways but not 'pop' enough for this thread to cut the mustard.

Handclaps.

At least one spoken bit.

No knees/please rhymes a la Clapton's Layla and Tears in heaven atrocities.

 

[isvicthere?]

One thing it definitely must not have:-

A talking bit.

 

[kained&able]

These days, must sound good as a ringtone.

Not forgetting Leader of the Pack (whoever suggested that was bang on the money - I'd be hard-pushed to think of a better example).
