I know it's been memed to death but Africa by Toto is genuinely an amazing song. Every segment, be it the intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus or break is a fucking earworm. Most songs have one catchy bit, this song is made of catchy bits.
Because of that it's legitimately the pinnacle of pop song-writing.

Despite the fact that my memory of the song is tied to me hearing it continually on the car radio while my dad drove me to a school I hated, I absolutely love Groove is in the Heart. It's always being played in the local supermarket near my apartment.

As much as I like Madonna and Gaga neither of them can pilot a dustbin AFAIK:

Every wedding I go to gets about fifty requests for it. From me. |

I like how Kylie Minogue’s career got a revival when everyone realised she had an arse.
The 2000s were weird.

Also good for weddings I'd imagine... |

That's to say he's annoying and I hate him

However if you allow songs with samples to be judged by the same yardstick you get in to trouble. Jive Bunny would be the pinnacle of popular music. However, I would invite the forum to consider appraising Justified & Ancient by the KLF using the same approach used by OP. |

It's not even the beard, it's the shit that he does around 13 and 25 secs when he's sat at the computer.

Well I guess he could have sensible hair and just sit there quietly like Babs from accounts, but that might make for a less entertaining act.

Her dirty secret is that she loves country and does line dancing at the weekend. So not really her thing

The Weezer version of Africa is the best one.
I think having Weird Al gurnning and spasming all over it actually made it a likeable song finally.
