Celebrate Valentine’s Day with SingStar.
Everywhere you look on Valentine’s Day, romance is in the air. Restaurants are full of couples staring dreamily into each others eyes and petrol stations across Europe are swamped with flustered men buying last minute bouquets. Even the birds in the trees are winking at each other.If you feel like escaping all of that, why not invite your single friends round for a SingStar party? Whether you want to belt out a rock ballad or huddle together for some cheesy pop from your favourite girl or boy band, here are a few suggestions to get things swinging.
Spice Girls Wannabe
Despite having the most uncoordinated outfits in music video history, The Spice Girls introduced a generation to “zig-a-zig ahhh” with this 1996 summer hit. It’s about putting your friends before any wannabe lovers, girl power and causing trouble in London’s Midland Grand Hotel for no reason whatsoever, judging from the video. If you’re having a night in with the girls, you should also check out Never Ever by All Saints, Venus by Bananarama and meteorology classic, It’s Raining Men by The Weather Girls.
Fergie Big Girls Don’t Cry
There are quite a few tears for lost lovers in the SingStore. Aerosmith are Cryin’, Alison Moyet is All Cried Out and She Cries Your Name, according to Beth Orton. However, Fergie’s track about moving on gets the recommendation because its chorus is just so infectious.
Shaggy Oh Carolina
If you’re pining after a special someone, a good way to make them feel special (or scare them away for good) is to release a song named after them. The Zutons invited Valerie over, The Kaiser Chiefs had their Ruby and My Chemical Romance mourned Helena, but Orville Richard Burrell, aka Shaggy, gets the nod for sheer originality; he compares the object of his affection to a squirrel in one verse and a grandfather clock in the next.
Foreigner I Want To Know What Love Is
Dear Mick Jones: “deep affection or fondness” according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The power ballad is a good choice for those who like to declare their love with a fist in the air from the back of a motorcycle on fire. There are some classics in the SingStore, such as Boston’s More Than A Feeling and Who Wants To Live Forever by Queen, and look out for the SingStar Rock Ballads collection on PlayStation 2.
Blu Cantrell Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)
Blu Cantrell’s debut single is the perfect revenge track for anyone who discovers their other half has been cheating on them. Presumably, the ‘Oops’ was Blu’s reaction when she realised that her song’s title makes little to no sense.
