Vip and Zim?
The 'Spill (Free subscription) | 08/11/2009
As the adverts always have it - NEW! IMPROVED! VIM! And, no doubt, ZIP A DEE DOO-DAH! too So, Vim is a concept that can mean many things to many people. Over on the Mothership, some people seem to have objected to the idea that up tempo songs automatically means vimminess, but I don't know about that, one woman's Vim is another woman's Cillit Bang. Personally, a toe-tapping quality switches on my vim...

And check out the little guy belting out that deep bass voice. Man. The second comes from Three Dog Night. Sure, it's a lip-sync performance but they usually were in the TV performances of that day. The song is "Eli's...

You Don’t Like Rock ‘N’ Roll and I Don’t Like You.
CreamTeam (Free subscription) | 03/11/2009
I’ve always really disliked Gravy Train. I eventually gave up even trying to listen to their music, it’s just not for me.
