On a slow news day, the BBC "reports" some rules about a summer hit tune. In summary:

  1. It has to be simple.
  2. It should make you feel like you're on holiday.
  3. Novelty is everything.
  4. Radio-friendly songs make bigger hits.
  5. It should be released before the summer.
  6. But it should have the word "summer" in the title.

If simplicity and novelty are the most important then this summer's hit could be Beep! Beep! I'm A Sheep!

    One of my friends showed me the Black Macarena dance, which is a lot like the regular Macarena dance except that it ends with the dancer face-down on the ground with their hands behind their back.

    The Macarena is mindlessly goofy, but it doesn't produce the same kind of wincing reaction that Achy Breaky Heart does.

    (You know you were from a rural town in the early 1990s if most of the audience at local festivals could perform the "Achy Breaky Heart" line-dance almost flawlessly after a night of drinking.)
