Today marked out of 5 Darren Hayes CDs…
Phixx – Wild Boys
I was a bit worried about this as I love Phixx but don’t like the original Wild Boys much (I’ve been known to have nightmares about Simon Le Bon!), but luckily my worries were about nothing and this is great. I’ve been wandering around yelling “Wild boys! Wild boys! Wild boys!” for the past 24 hrs since I saw the video which must be a good sign. I hope this gives Phixx the massive hit they deserve.
Kylie Minogue – Chocolate
This is my favourite song on Body Language and my favourite single since CGYOOMH. Red Blooded Woman was very good but Chocolate is as hypnotisingly gorgeous as the Snow Patrol song of the same name. The video is a great concept and matches the song well. I love the ballet dancing (it’s a bit Kate Bush in places) and the choreography into a heart shape. There’s actually something to look at rather than just Kylie writhing around trying to be sexy, which makes a nice change.
McFly – Obviously
I think this song could be really good if Tom and Danny had nicer voices. It is, like 5 Colours, a rip off of countless classic hits but it’s a lot nicer and I particularly like the beginning and the chorus is quite good too. All the boys look like buff hotties in the video as it’s set on a golf course so they’re all dressed up nice and posh (or normal for Harry) and Tom wears a pink shirt which always gets me. Danny probably looks nicest of them all – I’ve really gone off Dougie, he is useless.
