May 23, 201114 yr 01. (1) Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Whenever I hear this song, reminds me of "Family Guy" with Peter borrowing a video of Mannequin and him dead on the floor! 02. (3) Tom Jones - A Boy From Nowhere - Nah! 04. (4) Labi Siffre - (Something Inside) So Strong - Easily the best version of the song. 07. (5) Living In A Box - Living In A Box - The homeless song ;) Nah seriously, it's decent. 08. (6) Kim Wilde And Junior - Another Step (Closer To You) - Not bad from Kimmy - not her best song. 10.(NE) Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) - A tad overplayed, but hey it's still great :) 17. (7) Madonna - La Isla Bonita - Love this! 23.(NE) Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run (Live) - Classic. 25.(NE) Johnny Logan - Hold Me Now - Back when Ireland entered a proper song with a proper singer and won.
