As all the end-of-year broadsheet papers keep saying, 2007 has been a year of classic bands reforming (Led Zep, The Verve, Carter USM).

Come on... have a think... which bands do you think will put aside their differences for the 'love of music' (copyright. R Ashcroft) and reform next year? I'm quite tempted to put a fiver on... Dire Straits. I don't know why, I just have a sneaky feeling about it...

It seems to be an easy target this and I'm sure I'm not the only one, etc... but I've just heard the latest gem from Katie Melua and I am still in the process of picking my jaw up off the floor. Is this some kind of joke? Surely there should be some kind of law against this kind of thing: -

Mary Pickford used to eat roses
Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did,
One supposes.

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome,
He wore a moustache,
Must-a had much cash, too,
Worth a king's ransom,

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.

David Griffith worked as an extra,
Then as a stagehand,
Until they let him be
A director

Dave was brave, a mover and shaker,
A true pioneer,
He seemed to show no fear,
A real film maker
[ Mary Pickford lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

Just like Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.

They tied the knot together,
Groom and bride couldn't hide their pleasure.
They tried to pick fair weather,
But love died, didn't last forever.

Mary Pickford used to eat roses,
Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did,
One supposes.

Douglas Fairbanks, he was so handsome,
He wore a moustache,
Must-a had much cash too,
Worth a king's ransom.

Charlie Chaplin, he was invited,
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united.
When these artists became united
