Worse than Sandi Thom

Time again for the Singles Jukebox, although this time a couple of my blurbs didn't make it. I wasn't that impressed by DJ Webstar and Young B's "Chicken Noodle Soup" (4), but that's nothing compared to my sheer loathing of Lily Allen and Hinder (both richly deserved 0s).

There was a thousand-dollar chicken noodle soup contest going on at a club down here the other night. I entertained the thought of participating for about 2 seconds, and then thought better of it.

How does one win that? Is there a dance?

oh, ian!

the song wouldn't exist without the dance and vice versa.

Well, I'm Canadian. I know not these things.

You totally should have entered, though.

Just out of interest, if "LDN" gets a 0, what does the much worse "Smile" get?? (or is it the lyrics that are the biggest problem here?)

Well, on the one hand, I don't think I've heard "Smile". On the other, I am content with 0 reflecting a whole range of hideous possibility. All of which is total shit, yes, but there are levels.

And the lyrics are most definitely the biggest problem.
