Ruby Ruby bloody Ruby

[Withdean Wanderer]

Is this song EVER going to leave the Radio/TV playlists?

Yes, it was ok (in my opinion) the first 10 times, but 6 sodding million later it's a pain in the arse!

ah ah ah ah ah aaaah

On a similar note, when is Mika going to vanish like the one hit wonder he is?

His second song, to be fair, is a marginally better effort. You are right though, the overplaying of that Grace Kelly rubbish is a DISGRACE.

Second song?

The arrival of a decent range of DAB stations about the time his first one was out means I no longer hear chart crap and its not been played down my local so I assumed he hadn't had a second one...

See, i listen to Virgin Radio on DAB (or planetrock occasionally), and it's a good radio station i think, but they play it FAAAAAAAAR to much!

I agree apart from one small detail...it was only ok for the first 3 times, not 10!!

I usually listen to 2XM usally - imagine if the BBC did Planet Rock. With no presenters (and no ads, obviously); or Phantom 105.2. Both would be Mika-free zones.

Part of that Ruby song bears a real resemblence to the horn part in "For Tomorrow" by Blur.

 

[DannyBhoy]

RUBY RUBY RUBY!!!!!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

'Ruby Ruby Ruby' is such a non-song, as is the latest single off that album. Almost as bad as the latest Manics offering.

Regardless of people's views on Mika's album, the cold hard facts are that almost every song without fail on that album would chart in the top ten, if not top five if released. He could no way be described as a 'one hit wonder' MYOB, a rich vein of pop-tastic genuis weaves its way through that album, like it or not.

top ten

Mika doesn't apparently recognise 'The Vimto Chart' from which that stat was lifted. No one hit wonder though, as anyone who has heard the album could tell you.

 

[Cian]

He certainly recognises the IRMA/ChartTrack Irish Charts, considering he took a #1 from it! And thats where that came from.

"Love Today" also didn't enter the top 5 in the UK as you attested "any track" from the album could:

"6 Mika Love Today Apr 2007"

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I believe I said 'would chart in the top ten,' I believe you said 'one hit wonder'

Have you heard the album?

No, because I thought the first single was gash, one hit wonder material and on listening to the second one on Mercora, I think its gash, death of a career material. I somehow don't expect a third single to enter the top 40 here (although the top 75 is still classed as a "hit", unfortunately). As goes UK charts - I don't live in the UK.

Ladies, ladies.......

If in doubt, go back to the song of 2007 so far.


SHINE

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Haven't heard it in ages That Mika song (both of them) are SHIT and that stupid Gym Class Heroes song - Cupids Chokehold

And it is a crap cover version of the brilliant Supertramp song called BREAKFAST IN AMERICA

In fact, it has RUINED the original version now
