    Not bad, but not massively memorable. Plus, it sounds like the singer is having a small stroke after each verse... 6/10.

    Okay, time for some real cheese:

    Good stuff! Not 'real' music, but funny - 8/10.

    On the theme of funny songs:

    I love Lehrer! Not a bad pianist either. 8/10

    Here's musical parody at its best (not as effective if you haven't seen the original). Kinda long yes, but its digressions are brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmGVYki-oyQ

    I pretty much despise Weird Al, but this was surprising. The writing was really tight and well-observed. It probably helps that I have no idea what he was parodying. 7/10


    To get away from funny, let's go to Zeppelin - whom I respect, without being moved most of the time. But if I could have had anyone's life in the seventies, it would have been Robert Plant's.

    Great voice, great guitarist, but I remain, as always, unmoved. 5/10.

    Beautifully shot video of a slick performance of a disappointingly banal song.... 3/10



    This is so familiar that it's difficult to get past the easy shrug in order to see how extraordinary a song it is, especially composed and performed by middle-class English teenagers....

    Led Zeppelin, a band I just can't get too into for some reason, 6.5/10

    Edit: On the other hand, I love "All Right Now" haha 8/10.

    Since you're not familiar with the musical monstrosity that is Trapped in The Closet.

    Hahaha, yes, what was R. Kelly thinking? That said, you've gotta love how unconsciously ridiculous and camp it is. 5/10

    Btw, WTF is up with this indifference to Zeppelin? Damn man, don't get me started on Zeppelin.
