The new Teenage Fanclub single is a lovely thing but my 6 year old has decided it's her favourite song. I bought it on Sunday and the ipod play count already stands at 35 - we listen at breakfast, 2 or three times on the way to school and then several more times, to dance to, when I'm back from work. Still sounds great, no diminished enjoyment as yet, but another few days of this and we may have a problem.

Iggy Pop - Lust for Life, with that fantastic intro. (Go on - nod your head, do the noises...)

Years ago, we used it as the music for an in-house video for a series of meetings with manufacturing staff and the new Site Director where I was working. It was great, but I have to be honest - after hearing that same music somewhere in the region of two dozen times in a fortnight, sometimes in the dead of night for odd shifts, I didn't want to hear it again for a very long time...

is a great pop-rock song but has been co-opted for so many product / company / TV launches that it really has started to wear thin.

...From numerous Christmas holidays spent working in Homebase, trapped with the looping, 50 minute 'seasonal tape'

'Mr Blue Sky' due to my daughter's obsession with it from the ages of about 3-4.

Made this mistake twice. The conversational lyrics and catchy choruses of the nutty boys and britpop-era blur proved a hit with my first-born, but I had to eventually 'lose' both before I got sick of 'em

I loved all of these on first hearing, but the effect diminished through over exposure on TV adverts:

- La Roux - In For The Kill
- Florence and the Machine - You Got The Love
- Lily Allen - The Fear
