30 Years of Number Ones in Aus, UK and US for the week ending 12 October

I thought it might be fun to make a number one hit list for the past thirty years for each week. If people show interest it will become a regular feature. If you want me to go back further just tel me how far but I can only go back as far as charts were made! Or give me a date and I'll let you know the songs for Australia, UK and the US.

Very cool Rihanna video you've probably never seen.

Is she beautiful? Undoubtedbly. Does this photo make her look both innocent and sexy? Absolutely. Can I share a little secret with you? The more observant of you may have noticed already.

Sarah Palin - Barracuda has Heart Problems

It seems the use of the song "Barracuda" that has been used by the Republican Campaign has pissed off the song's writers' Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. On Thursday afternoon, the band, Heart, emailed out a statement regarding vice-presidential candidate Sarah "Barracuda" Palin's use of their song at the Republican National Convention.

Following Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin’s introduction to the world, some have taken to calling her Sarah "Barracuda" Palin, which apparently presented an opportunity that the McCain/Palin Campaign could not pass up. Palin's nickname in high school was "Sarah Barracuda" which seems an odd nickname for someone who won the "Miss Congeniality" award

Even though the song has been doing the rounds for a while now Rihanna's Umbrella has been getting a lot of airplay lately. I have just recently discovered Mandy Moore did a cover version.

Misheard Lyrics (with video clips). What have you misheard?

We’ve all done it. Heard a song, sang along certain that you have the words right until one of your mates starts pissing themselves saying, “sing that bit again” and you say, “sing what again?” and they say, “that last line”, so you say, “oh, you mean…” and it sets them off again until you realise, crap, that’s obviously not what it says.

Misheard lyrics are called Mondegreens, a phrase first coined in 1954 so it’s not a new thing. Two of the most misheard lyrics that I know of are in Purple Haze by Jimmy Hendrix where “Scuse me while I kiss the sky” seems to be heard as “Scuse me while I kiss this guy” and the ever famous Manfred Mann’s version of the Springsteen song Blinded by the Light where “revved up like a deuce” becomes “wrapped up like a douche

Post Title

The good news is I got a haircut for work today. The bad news is that I think I'm going to be fired tomorrow. So, I can't stress this enough; click on the god-damn ads! I for one can't wait till I graduate, earn some money and trample over all the people who I've worked for getting there. And I mean trample.

And you think that was a bad day?

Yodelling For Amateurs

...not quite. Instead, I have something more exciting.
A listing of all the music you, as readers listen to. This is done using a website I like to call Last FM. I'm sure many of you have already heard about this, but I'm curious as to if anyone would like to participate. Basically, all that happens is as you listen to your music on the computer, the website compiles a list of all the tracks/artists played. Thus, if many readers subscribe to this, we can see/laugh at/discuss musical taste and recommendations.

Vun Hit Vonders

Sorry for the delay; I thought it best to go into hiding while Noel Gallagher visited Australia. Never-the-less, I am back to bring you another exciting issue of Rheumatism. Leaving obscure music for just a moment, the other end of the scale is a one-hit wonder (note: Mark Latham). Here are some of my favourite (and not-so-favourite) one hit wonders...
