10:25AM Jess McGuire | Things we enjoy in ridiculously cheesy pop songs:
Lyrics penned with the help of a rhyming dictionary.
Said lyrics being penned with the added bonus of an English As A Second Language angle.
Grunting distorted rock guitar bringing chunky magic to the equation whilst still kept to a minimal volume so as not to scare the elderly (see also the collected solo works of one Carlisle, B)
One word – KEYCHANGE! Or maybe that’s two words. EITHER WAY, YES! YES! YES!
Vocals breaking/changing slightly due to the sheer epic emotion of it all (see also ‘Electric Blue’ by Icehouse, specifically the point at 3.13 in the song)
Video clips featuring the sartorial mistakes of yesteryear.
Therefore we are most pleased to shove down your throats our newfound love of Roxette’s blistering ballad ‘Fading Like A Flower’ which meets every single fucking one of those requirements.
Relive it right now.
(pumps fist in the air)
We also enjoyed the following comments made on the YouTube clip featured above.
hard as steel!
ISN’T IT THOUGH?
Marie is the only chick who can pull off that hairstyle without looking like a lesbian.
We’re not entirely convinced this is factually correct, but whatever.
