When I was compiling my top 25 favourite albums list I often
got stuck on which order to put the albums in. So instead of getting frustrated
about that, I thought, “that’s a great topic idea”. So here it is, my top ten
“stuck” songs.
10 - Stuck – Stacey
Orrico
The Panel was a great show on Australian TV, not only for
the chat and comedy, but the music. They used to allow artists to perform
whatever song they wanted, but it had to be acoustic. This caught out a few of
the pop singers of the day, but conversely also showcased some others. I don’t
know anything about Stacey Orrico, but I was introduced to her song on one of
the compilation CD’s from the Panel. The link below is the original version of
stuck though.
9 - Stuck at the
Airport – Money Mark
When I used to listen to the Steven and Gary’s Classic
Albums podcast (what did happen to these guys? ) they often talked about buying
a new Christmas album each year. Around about that time, I saw “This Warm
December” in the bargain bins, a Christmas album that had a few Jack Johnson
songs on it, so I thought why not give it a try. Its good, and this song is
good, and not overly christmasy in its theme.
8 - Stuck with Me –
Green Day
If I have started to send you asleep, this one should wake
you up!
7 - Stuck inside a
Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again….- Bob Dylan
Yep, its Bob time.
6 - Stuck in Moment You
Can’t Get Out of It – U2
I did like the “All You Can’t Leave Behind” album of U2, and
this is one of the singles from it. An enjoyable song.
5 - Stuck on You –
Lionel Richie
My wife is a Lionel fan, and hence I have now been to two of
his concerts. He could write a good pop song, and this is certainly one of his
better ones.
4 - Stuck on You –
Elvis Presley
So Lionel was stuck on you, and now its Elvis’ turn. A
completely different track.
3 - Stuck on You –
Paul Norton
Another Stuck on You? Yes, this time its back to the 80’s
for some big haired pop. This is a great track.
2 - Stuck with You –
Huey Lewis
And we are going to stay in the 80’s, for Mr Lewis who is
not stuck on you, but stuck with you!
1 - Stuck in the Middle
with You – Stealer’s Wheels
The number one track, and if it was a horse race it would have
won by many many lengths. Its catchy,
and I think we have all been in situations where there are clowns to the left
of us, and jokers to the right of us!
What are your favourite stuck songs?
Yay for the Top 2, Elvis and Lionel. Boo for U2, although that is one of their least annoying offerings. Don't have access to my full library at the moment, but I'd recommend Stuck Between Stations by The Hold Steady, Stuck Inside A Cloud by George Harrison and Stuck In The 90s by Moxy Fruvous.
