Doug's 101 Favourite Songs [#101-51 Revealed!]

[GhettoSuperstar]

I have far too much time on my hands what with Uni timetable cut back and being off work for damaged nerves in my leg...

Anyway, I have really different tastes in music compared to the other members who have posted these so far. Overall, my music is mostly from recent times - just my preference. And I have tried to keep Girls Aloud to a minimum as appart from them I have lots of songs I love. :hugesmile: Opinions welcome!

#101
GUILLEMOTS - ANNIE LET'S NOT WAIT
Why?: Get's stuck in my head loads and love the line "i love you and that's all you need to know".

MELANIE FIONA - GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT
Why?: It's sexy. And it uses a sample well.
