01. White Horses - Jacky. (Some Irish bint, in point of fact. I'm still looking for an alleged indiepop-guitar version.)
02. Some Girls - Rachel Stevens. (Not the KLF.)
03. Apache - The Incredible Bongo Band. (A hip-hop staple.)
04. Got the time - Anthrax. (A cover more fun than the original.)
05. Jordan, Minnesota - Big Black. (I thought 'Kerosene' would be far too obvious. What a bastard I am.)
06. The back of love - Echo & the Bunnymen. (Easy.)
07. Hump - Elakelaiset. (Humppa!)
08. Train - Goldfrapp. (Which does indeed sound a lot like 'Ooh la la'. I blame the Glasto performance.)
09. Dickie Davies eyes - Half Man Half Biscuit. (I'm old.)
10. Bring the noise - Anthrax and Public Enemy. (Anthrax again.)
11. Male Stripper - Man2Man Meets Man Parrish. (A work of genius.)
12. Things that dreams are made of - Human League. (Well, the League Unlimited Orchestra. As used by the BBC an awful lot.)
13. Only losers take the bus - The Fatima Mansions. (What Cathal Coughlan did after Microdisney... Oh, never mind.)
14. Upside Down - The Jesus and Mary Chain. (Mind, the early ones did all sound the same.)
15. Up the hill and down the slope - The Loft. (The great lost Creation band. Which is probably why no-one got it. Oops.)
16. There is no love between us anymore - PWEI. (Burned into my subconscious because of //chelty.)
17. Numbers - Kraftwerk. (Also much (ab)used by the BBC.)
18. Charley Says - The Prodigy. (Dodgy rave seems popular. Good.)
19. Grinderswitch - Pickin' the blues. (AKA the John Peel Show theme.)
20. Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix. (Pretty much everyone spotted that.)
21. Destination Zululand - King Kurt. (It's just me, isn't it?)
22. Just can't get enough - Nouvelle Vague. (Or indeed not, thankfully.)
23. Soul Limbo - Booker T and the MGs. (Only missing Ritchie Benaud.)
24. Picture on my wall - The Naturalites. (Ok, that was probably a bastard trick.)
25. Ooh, ahh. Just a little bit - Gina G. (Another work of genius.)
26. Night boat to Cairo - Madness. (Half past monsoon, etc.)
27. Nobody's hero - Stiff Little Fingers. (Still an adrenaline rush even now.)
