Aqua - My Oh My!

[VoR]

Having such a moment to this right now. I think it's right up there with their three #1s. Just joyous.

 

[Suomi]

What a cacophony of joy and a highlight in the discography of one of the greatest acts of all time. You could tie me to the stake and have Radiohead, Kerrang! magazine and Reading Festival Go-ers all jeer and force me to repent, but I will never back down on my view that the post-chorus of this song - "If you were my king/I would be your queen" - contains more emotion and meaning than anything from "Kid A"

Aqua were fantastic storytellers with their music, criticised for being a novelty, when the meaning of that word is strange and unusual. That's what all the indie kids want to be isn't it?

 

[Steptacular]

I was gutted when it 'stalled' at #6. I had myself convinced it was their fourth #1. I don't think of it as fondly as their others but it's still a solid 8.

This or Barbie Girl is my favourite.

 

[Sheena]

This and "Cartoon Heroes" are their finest hours. Utterly triumphant. That HORSE at the start gets me EVERY TIME!

 

[Pipo]

That HORSE at the start gets me EVERY TIME!

I remember having this cd single and included THIS gem as a b-side

 

[Slave]

Justice for 'Around The World'!

Lene looked STUNNING in the video.

Gotta STEAL from the RICH when they don't know I'm comin'

Gotta GIVE to the POOR, no time for lovin'

Cannot believe the very good Megalomania was over 10 years ago.
