Oooh are we talking about pop music?
or maybe
God Only Knows - Beach Boys
Perfection.
All of the above.
And these
DON'T FORGET TO WRITE THE SINGER AND TITLE FOR PEOPLE VIEWING IN MOBILE LAND.
Can't easily do the YouTube thing.
But - ones that work for me -
Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins
Faron Young - Prefab Sprout
I'm sure I'll think of others soon.
Zippykona, get a better phone grandad!
Tiny Tempah - Pass Out
I could go on for hours..
You want pop there can be only one. S Club Seven - Reach
Transvision Vamp is not pop but Wendy James, damn you looked good

Apart from Red Box, who were crap!
Beloved - The Sun Rising
I can't help but feel that some people are unaware that 'pop' is a contraction of 'popular'...
Sorry....
Google the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders version - possibly nsfw.....
Kylie - Spinning around
Pet Shop Boys Always On My Mind
and a couple of left field entries from our antipodean cousins
Mental As Anything Live It Up
Men At Work - Down Under
Old:
New:
Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour
or
St Etienne - I was born on Christmas day
Sorry guys, can't be bothered to watch all those YouTube clips, just type out the name of the recording please!
Someone has flash turned off..
Or
Tracy Ullman 'They Don't Know'
Perfect pop is not shit like Duran Duran! [i]Perfect[/i] pop has to be liked by [i]everyone[/i] -
eg.
Ride. Twisterella.
Stone Roses. She Bangs the Drum.
The Buzzcocks. Ever Fallen in Love (with someone you shouldn't've).
Boo Radleys. Does This Hurt?
Stooshe. Black Heart.
Those men are pouring custard on that lady in that Duran Duran video.
I knew it was a bit 'Ooer, Missus', but that's a waste of good custard when there are starving families in Yorkshire.
Can't believe no-one has mentioned Madness - Our House yet
Argh, more Le bon!
*Leaves thread in tears*
Robyn. Perfect pop
pop perfection
if we're talking Monkees then this was written by Mike Nesmith
or how about some more manufactured 60s cheese
Not just because I totally heart Hannah Hooper...
Big Star September Gurls
Big star Thirteen
for Morecashthandash..... with a twist
September Gurls is even better than Thirteen (IMHO obviously)
now wishing I was at home and could sit listening to records instead of working 🙁
Sita - Happy
Not that well known, but pure happy pop
some great choices - but for me this is the greatest 3 minutes ever committed to a 7 inch piece of vinyl. Music, Lyric - incredible incredible arrangement/ production (that tambourine shake during the intro)
Marvin Gaye - heard it through the grapevine
grievoustim might not agree but I reckon this is up there with Marvin
So many.
On top of those already done:
Doobie Brothers, Listen to the Music:
Pretty girl, upbeat tune, what's not to like?
Always had a softspot for redheads!
Just found this on YouTube, Should get back to doing some work now.
The drummer looks like Clare Grogan these days.....
No bad thing!
😉
This song always gets me going...
Shame it doesn't work for the missus!
I give up on the embedding but anyway;
Hockey - Song Away
A+++++ thread, would listen again
I've always thought it was this:
Without Big Star there would've been no Teenag Fanclub and no Neil Jung.
I can honestly say I am a big fannie 😆
It's gotta be something French.......

The Beatles. I Saw Her Standing There.
It's da Spice Girls innit
Robyn. Perfect pop
Great call...
The Sweeds do seem to know what they are doing when it comes to pop...
Robyn has more talent in her toenail than Gaga, Spears and my others combined.
A piano and a microphone. Quite amazing.
A classic:
more recently this had that earworm thing going on...
