On a slow news day, the BBC "reports" some rules about a summer hit tune. In summary:
- It has to be simple.
- It should make you feel like you're on holiday.
- Novelty is everything.
- Radio-friendly songs make bigger hits.
- It should be released before the summer.
- 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!

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.)
