The best song to never be number 1 is Vienna by Ultravox, kept off of top spot by Joe Dolce I believe. Unbelievable.

Cobblers!

‘Torn’ by Natalie Imbruglia would like to have a word with you.

Biology only got to number 4. Also if there is a list of 500 songs better then Angels, does Hanging Around make the cut at last?

Not a chance. Angels is also a cover, it’s a World Party song from when World Party were really really shit. So shit that the writer of the song went to work with Williams.

It's a sign of how great Pet Shop Boys are that even Williams couldn't drag them down on No Regrets, easily his best song.

TIL that Mel Brooks put a clause in his Blazing Saddles contract that they couldn't make a sequel unless they made a tv series first, knowing that the humour would never work as a TV series.

3 years later Warner Brothers got in touch with Brooks, saying they were planning on making a sequel and he pointed out the clause....so they showed him the TV series they had been filming in secret, never planning to air it.

THEY FILMED 4 SEASONS!!!!
