All Around My Hat.

Right, I dunno if you've looked at Palatinate, it's the fiftieth anniversary of Palatinate! And one of the things in the section two is "The Fifty Worst Songs Ever", compiled by Ian Hall, who's the music editor and also a Purple FM DJ. There's some good tunes in there; Aqua, Barbie Girl, it says here: "Life in plastic is fantastic. Shudder - scared the nation's consciousness". And er, what've we got, erm... number five, Timmy Mallet and Bomballurina, Itsy-Bitsy-Teeny-Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini: "She was afraid to go out of the locker! Ah-ha! It was probably that giant pick-hammer that did it Timmy!" there you go.

And there's another one down here, it says down here, twenty-eight - No Way No Way: "a song blatantly ripped off from the muppets theme tune". What's number four - Englebert Humperdink. "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree. Tie it round your neck mate, get lost!" <pause> Cutting edge of journalism innit, Palatinate at the minute... and at number one, Cranberries, Linger. Hmmm, I'm not really sure about that, I actually quite like that song.

And what's really embarrassing is at number eighteen. Steeleye Span. All Around My Hat. The comment there is just "embarrassing". <pause> I like that song. I played it two weeks ago. And in retaliation to you, Ian Hall, so-called music editor of Palatinate, I'm going to make it the Folkin' Good Tune again this week. This is Purple FM! This is All Around My Hat! and this, is STEELEYE SPAN!

And one of the things in the section two is "The Fifty Worst Songs Ever", compiled by Ian Hall, who's the music editor and also a Purple FM DJ. He was on last night, apparently. So there you go, and there's some good tunes in there; Aqua, Barbie Girl, it says here: "Life in plastic is fantastic. Shudder - scared the nation's consciousness".

And there's another one down here, it says down here, twenty-eight - No Way No Way: "a song blatantly ripped off from the muppets theme tune". Interestingly enough actually, Vanilla have somehow managed to get onto the Purple FM playlist, which I'm really embarrassed about, to be part of that... anyway, oh yeah, what's number four - Englebert Humperdink, it says here: "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree. Tie it round your neck mate, get lost!" <pause> Cutting edge of journalism innit, Palatinate at the minute... and at number one, Cranberries, Linger.
