Crossbreeds
OK first of all, I'm very sorry about this picture. It's beyond disturbing, isn't it? But very necessary when you consider the topic of this afternoon's ChartBlog Lecture. As you will see, what we're examining today is what happens when you try and crossbreed new variants of pop from artists with an impeccable pedigree.
The methodology is terrifyingly simple. You take spores from one pop act, introduce them to the receptive organs of another, add fertilizer and wait...
Here's just some of the mongrel monstrosities we've managed to breed.
Scouting For Girls Aloud
Songs: 'I Think We Ain't Dead Now', 'Whole Lotta Lovely'
Lemmy Kravitz
Songs: 'It Ain't Overkill 'Til It's Overkill', 'Bomberfly', 'Are You Gonna Ace Of Spades'

Bloasis - Song 2 Roll With It
Blur and Oasis, best I can come up with at the moment.
Its interesting to note that Blur's Song 2 goes with Oasis' Roll With It, as not only does it sound like a good title to me, Roll With It is also the second song on Oasis' What's The Story Morning Glory, so it goes as Song 2. :P
well i think its really spuid that u compare a lady 2 a man and if u were comparing u should but a man with a man and a alady with a lady
Or how about Elliot McFly (Elliot Minor and McFly) and the songs'll be Little Jessica and Obviously i'm still figuring it out cos it's all about you. Yay!!! I'm champion of champions. Wait my ego's gonna get to big to fit in the door here. What do u think Frazer?

THIS IS GONNA BE MY LAST ONE COS IM GETTING BORED OF IT. OK SORRY FRASER ABOUT SPELIING YOUR NAME WRONG. IM SO BORED OF DOING THIS. I BET UR GETTING SICK OF ME.
