Gwen (who is quite possibly the most beautiful woman ever!) made music like that. In equal measures good & also almost nursey rhyme like in it's tuning.

I also loved Hollaback Girl - that was a great pop song. Another song that falls into the category of dreadful/borderline genius is Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal.

I'm still not sure even now which one it is.

i can't stand gwen stefani's solo career at all. i feel like she is jocking somebody else's career and yet in No DOubt she is super cool.

i dig her better in a band than solo and its not even close
and known of her solo work does much of anything for me at all.

Yes, this is EXACTLY the kind of song I meant.

Although I'm inclined to say Milkshake is more brilliant than awful.

How about this one?

So bad it's good?

No, this is just bad Matty!

I'm glad you like Milkshake, that was my jam when I was a kid.

Hollaback Girl was a tune! I love that!

I know it's massively overplayed, but I think it's a pretty good pop song? Or is it just annoyingly catchy?
