An epic song from Meat Loaf's 1977 Bat Out Of Hell album. One of the best rock and roll duets ever!

Pulp - Disco 2000
As in other Pulp songs, this song is based on true events. The song tells the story of a narrator falling for a childhood friend called Deborah, who is more popular than he is and wondering what it would be like to meet again when they are older. Cocker said "the only bit that isn't true is the woodchip wallpaper."

Accept - Princess Of The Dawn
The ending track of the 1982 "Restless & Wild" album, Princess Of The Dawn is a terrific way to end the album, and only Accept could have turned six minutes of monotonous riffing into a masterpiece.
Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann achieved the haunting mandolin-like effect by recording the guitar at half-speed, then having it played back at normal speed. He describes the sudden ending as "an idea that didn't work so well." (for those who might think the recording is not complete)

Lilly Allen - Fuck You
The song originally appeared on Allen's Myspace page in 2008 under the title "Guess Who Batman". Despite its titular reference to the caped crusader, according to NME and Rolling Stone magazines the song is an anti-George W. Bush protest, while another source, the Urban Review, states that it was originally inspired by the right-wing British National Party, adding Allen now "feels the track is relevant everywhere now so has removed a particular target." So, a dedication for all dirty politicians out there :)
