A truly amazing pop song needs the following:

claps at appropriate points
amazing base line
a spectacular beat (bonus points it it's A. Linn)
some sort of achievable dance routine / words that imply a certain dance action
a fantabulous middle eight
some repetition of the same word
an actual end to the song, not a fucking fade out

and finally something revolutionary...

Patrick Wolf's Bluebells for instance, while I wouldn't go as far as claiming it is the greatest pop song of all time has bloody fireworks.

Girls Aloud's Biology (which is quite probably the greatest pop tune of all time, although I'd never say it cause there's always something better and yes, yes I know I hark on about this one all the time but still) takes the basic set up of a pop song, throws it out of the window, and rebuilds it from scratch








(plus... Prince Charming is better anyway.)

I do believe the winner is always going to be the Beach Boys.

...you forgot to mention the mandatory key change on the penultimate verse.

Girls Aloud weep rivers of pus...even if you would insert it into 60% of them.

Or three-fifths...

On topic when I meet up with the new missus on Friday reckon I'll insist on going round to hers and chuck on Dirk Wears White Sox.

Stand and Deliver - Ah, some brilliant memories of primary school discos.

People only think the Beach Boys are good because they read it in a mens magazine or saw it on a channel 4 top 100 poll on new years eve. I think thay are unlistenable gone off cheese.

have to say i agree with that, never understood all the praise the beach boys get maybe i just don't get it. my everlasting memory of the beach boys was them doing backing vocals on status quo's kareoke version of 'fun fun fun' in the mid 90's looking somewhat bemused!

aye the Beach Boys are like the Monkies but not as funny (not that the Monkies are funny in the slightest) and you prob have to on a high dosage of LSD to appreciate the sickly cheesoid dirge they made - so quite apt that they teamed up with Gorgonzola-meisters Status Quo - must have been the highlight of their careers!

im sure Loaded, FHM, Q and Mojo have all declared Pet Sounds as the greatest album in History which just goes to show that you should never read anything written by people who wear too much aftershave and drink boddingtons
