And when I woke up my pillow was gone

  • October 15, 2010

The Nelly single 'Just A Dream' isn't out in the UK until the middle of next month but it has already been out in various other countries. It has not done extraordin­ar­ily well abroad but nor has its per­form­ance been an embar­rass­ment. It has, basically, done averagely well.

Despite all that we have listened to the song 28 times since putting it into our iTunes library last weekend. This reas­on­ably high play count is largely due to the song being fucking amazing (if, in some respects, quite shit).

[youtube]N6O2ncUKvlg[/youtube] Fucking amazing and quite shit. Some of the best pop songs tick both those boxes. The entire first Westlife album did too. Fucking amazing shitness is nothing to be feared, it is something to be embraced, like a large rabbit.
