Basshunter - 'Every Morning'
Hey, Oasis fans, I think I might've found a way to keep the band going. You interested? Excellent!
I have the perfect replacement for Noel. He's got the right haircut, carries himself in a suitably shamelessly arrogant fashion, and best of all, he can even write big anthemic crowd-pleasing tunes, which are naggingly familiar at first, then get stuck in your mind, and best of all, they'll probably sound great when everyone gets together to sing them in a stadium.
The only drawback is...it's Basshunter.
(. It's cute...mostly.)
Now I know what you're thinking, you're thinking "how will Liam take it?", and to be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I expect he will be unhappy. I've a feeling that Liam takes a dim view of Basshunter's musical output so far. I would even go so far as to say that I would not be surprised if it turns out that Liam is not a Basshunter fan, and would find the idea of O-bass-is (we're all going to have to get used to it, might as well start now) to be troubling.
But if you listen to this song, and maybe strip away some of the Vengaboys backing, is it REALLY so very different to one of the big Oasis ballads like 'All Around The World'? OK, the lyrics are a little clunky, but c'mon, "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannonball"? We're not talking about Shakespeare being replaced by Peter Andre here.
And yes, Bassey's voice is perhaps a little soft, but so's Noel's. Liam would do a fine job on a song like this, leaving Jonas free for backing vocal duties, and maybe the odd lead on 'Don't Look Back In Anger', so that Liam can have a little rest.
The only real job of work is to pry that synth out of Bassy's hands and to put a proper, real, wooden guitar in there instead. Then teach him how to play it, put him in a parka, and then introduce him to Russell Brand. Job done.
Who's with me?

It's a bit odd to say the least. Maybe the actress did actually get lost out to sea and they thought it added something to the video and left it in.
AND if I'm not mistaken the girl is a former Miss Norway. I recognise her from a film I saw.

PPS Mr Basshunter has such an inexpressive face it ruins the vid. Has he been drugged? Is he on industrial quantities of Tamazepam? Or marzipan?
Seeing his poor bovine face being led around by the director made me feel sorry for him. I haven't seen someone that awkward & ill at ease since I last farted in a lift.

basshunter - 'okay guys i am gonna propose to my girlfriend, so whatever you do, do not ladishly throw my onto the catamaran netting while i do it.

basshunter - 'ggggguuuuyyyyyyyyssssssss, you're crazy, you know that? really crazy... but next time, do not drag me off anywhere okay?

Oasis have got a lot of nonsensical lines in their back catalouge but altogether, while more style than substance, have a heck lot more substance than this prat. And definitely more style besides. The video burns my eyes more than LoveGame does...

It sort of sounds euphoric to me...and believe me I despised Now You're Gone and the slew of stinkers he released after it. But I think Basshunter has redeemed himself with this song!

Now you're gone was a bone fide NUMBER 1 ,and a justified international smash !
If it's alright with Liam , I wanna bow out of predicting the peak position of this song , for the simple reason that I never want to hear it again .
For me this is songwriting of the lowest order . I am sure it sounds great in a club though !
