Oh Lord. We don't event agree on what constitutes a good Jimmy Somerville song.
I've always had a soft spot for this one:

And I love that one too. "You are my world" is one I sing lustily and loudly when I'm walking.

I think we need some Proclaimers here somewhere. How about with this recent novelty video?

I had a Scottish girlfriend who hated the Proclaimers: "Scottish people don't even talk that way!" she would say.

It's got David Tennant in it. And a boogieing Ood.

I feel the need to make it clear that the greatest version of 'Don't Leave Me This Way' will always be the original:
Good Lord.

Which may be the perfect entry to mention the 4 CD boxed set of Tom Moulton remixes of Philadelphia International soul that arrived in the mail today.

I'm trying to imagine what the auditions were like. "You have thirty seconds to make at least twenty different plausible orgasm noises or this adorable kitten gets fed to this not-at-all cute puppy. Three, two, one, GO!"

Oh sure, it's got soul. And it's fantastic, and it's the original. But saying it's the best version is like saying that Gloria Jones' original "Tainted Love" is the best.

Ultravox. Still got no idea what this song is about, but.
