No Harry Nilsson in it ??? Hmmm... Seems weird from what Mika says about how much he loves his job...

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) The Proclaimers LOVE IT!!

it's one of those songs that probably wouldn't come to mind if you had to make up a playlist, but if you hear it, it definitely brings back memories..it has a certain vibe to it, and it was in at least one great movie..i'm not quote sure which one:blush-anim-cl: :blush-anim-cl: , but i think it was bennie and joon - great movie!:thumb_yello: anyway, the song is a classic! dont like maneater though, sorry mika, it's one of my least favourite nelly furtado songs

I love the 500 miles song. when I first heard GK I thought the "could be" part sound like the "gonna be". they dont sound very alike now. Last time I saw alist about his top 5, he had MCR's welcome to the black parade. I wonder were the view's same jeans went.

AMAZING PLAYLIST!!!!!

 

The man has taste :thumb_yello:

 

 

 

I didn't know other people liked that song! YAY MIKA!

 

Oh absolutely, Sou! I hate to say this, but I bought my first Proclaimers

*cassette* back in the mid-1980s at Tower Records in London!

Been a fan ever since.

 

As for the rest of Mika's playlist, I quite like all the tunes except I'm not

familiar with the Nina Simone song. How did I miss that one? Guess I'll have to go have a listen... :)
