Will Smith - Miami
4th Time

Year of release: 1998
Peak chart position: #3

Released from the album, Big Willie Style, which was the first solo studio album recorded by Will Smith, after spending most of his career as the latter half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. The album was released on Columbia Records in the United States on November 25, 1997 and featured several popular singles including "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It", "Miami", "Just the Two of Us" and "Men In Black", which was also released earlier in the year on the soundtrack for the movie Men In Black.

Gorillaz - 19/2000
** NEW SONG **

Year of release: 2001
Peak chart position: #6

The second single to be released from the debut self-titled Gorillaz album, released in June 2001 , and the remix was the song of choice to headline the soundtrack of FIFA 2002 game, from Electronic Arts. It peaked at the #6 position in the British charts, and the song samples the drumbeat from "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly & the Family Stone.

The Fratellis - Doginabag
** NEW SONG **

Year of release: 2006
Peak chart position: N/A - EP/Album Track

Track Number 7 of the, yep you guessed, brilliant Costello Music album. Probably the slowest one on their and not the longest either but a great little song nonetheless.

Supertramp - Breakfast In America
** NEW SONG **

Year of release: 1979
Peak chart position: #9

Had to do this one after saying I would after singing Cupids Chokehold last week which samples this very song. It is the title track from Supertramp's 1979 album Breakfast in America. The song was a minor hit on the singles charts in the US but is a staple of classic rock radio. The song's lyrics tell about a person who has never been to America.

Status Quo - Marguerita Time1st for 2007

Year of release: 1983
Peak chart position: #3

Scott decided we should finish off with Status Quo songs so got rail-roaded into this. Whilst I like Quo and don't mind this song I have to say it was very boring to sing. Maybe it was the beer!
