Spain´s radio has an unhealthy obsession with Phil Collins, Brian Adams, and last, but not least... yes, if you can believe it: Roxette. I kid you not.I literally hear at least one song from each of them on the radio every day.
Roxette? DRESSED FOR SUCCESS and SHE'S GOT THE LOOK...(what in the world can make a brown girl's eyes turn blue, lalalalala-la, nan'nan'nananana'nah) I now know all the words.
Brian Adams. They played EVERYTHING I DO, I DO IT FOR YOU the other day, and I heard it for the first time in, like, fifteen years and thought....ahhh, I secretly like this song. Then, I heard it again. And again, and I no longer felt romantic. I wanted to send Brian Adams an email virus.
I currently hear Phil Collins in my head ALL THE FREAKING time. I can´t get away from the man. He was in the hardware store yesterday. He was in the internet cafe. He was in the bathroom in the Corte Ingles. Okay, so I will admit that I will sing along to SuSu-Sussudio!...as much as the next person. But really, I asked a Spaniard about it, and he said.."Phil Collins? I love Phil Collins."
I don´t think I´ve ever heard anyone EVER admit that they love Phil Collins. And certainly, not the ubiquitous Phil Collins who follows you into the bathroom when really you´d just like a moment without PHIL COLLINS!
