Here's the video that offended the Turkish leader's delicate sensibilities, now with helpful English subtitles: The song, a riff on an old German pop song, pokes fun at Erdogan's appearance, his ostentatious palace, and, most importantly, his dismal record on freedom of the press and civil rights.

The initial sonics are cold and hard like steel on goose-bumped flesh—the very opposite of soft feelings—this then amps up to an 80s disco-glorious pop song, with Lerche singing "I've got so much love to give" (this is where said soft feelings come in, clearly).

But at the end of their show in Kingston, for their much-wondered about final song, the Hip simply played one of their biggest hits, "Ahead by a Century," a 1996 acoustic-based pop song about childhood innocence, beloved and performed by gymnasiums full of Canadian schoolchildren for years.

The combination of cheeky, colorful concept, clever choreography, cute girls, and catchy songwriting makes "Gee" the quintessential K-pop song: It's fun, infectious, and memorable — and it was all but algorithmically produced by a studio machine responsible for delivering perfect singing, perfect dancing, perfect videos, and perfect entertainment.

With its delicate 60s-angled piano chords, "Where to Start" is a sparse pop song, which in the chorus fills listeners ears with warm strings and Doillon's voice, sounding slightly torn and beautifully dejected "'Where To Start' is actually the last song I wrote for the album," says Doillon.

Wayne Cochran, who wrote a classic love-and-loss pop song while still in his early 21997s, then morphed into an energetic rhythm-and-blues singer with a devoted following and an outrageous pompadour before finding a new purpose in a Christian ministry near Miami, died on Nov.

Ocean O'Connell Rosenberg (her parents, briefly seen, were laid-back hippies), played with alpha-girl pep by Tiffany Tatreau, belts out a hilarious pop song in which she alternately sings her own praises ("What the world needs is people like me," runs the chorus) and eviscerates her competitors.

Based on Baz Luhrmann's film of the same title, this hedonist's delight of an extravaganza, set in a fin-de-siècle show palace, goes over the top and stays there, in some giddy ether where it feels as if every pop song you ever heard is played in perpetuity.
