Mashup fans, I’ve a job for you. Someone needs to put the “na na nah” refrain from Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ under the verses to this song. It would please me, it works musically (same chords, y’see), and best of all, it would actually give the lyrics a bit of balance.

Of course, it’s still the same basic message, isn’t it? Both songs want to impress upon...

What kind of fresh wonder...
