'Handle Me' by Robyn has been all over the radio in the UK over the last couple of weeks and I kind of love it and kind of hate it. I think the verses are completely inspired, and like the end of each chorus, but the big boombastic 'Handle Me' bits in the chorus leave me kind of cold. If they'd kept the minimalist, cello-drug verses to the fore I'd like this a lot more. Yet, I can't get the verses off my mind of late.
This is good, but I hope they're just building up to
'Be Mine'.
More great strings.
I've probably listened to 'Be Mine' about forty times.

not sure if it's been mentioned already, but i think 'Bonnie and Clyde' by Serge Gainsbourg is a fantastic pop song

Off the top of my head(Without searching this thread for anyone with the same choices)...
The Ramones - "Rockaway Beach"
X - The Worlds a mess, It's in My Kiss
The Breeders - Fortunately Gone
Intelligence -The World is a Drag
Talking Heads - Home(Naive Melody)
Joe Jackson -One More Time or Stepping Out (Always been a personal favorite). Really, almost everything off of his first three records.)
