THE BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

To compliment my recently completed ‘1000 BEST SONGS LIST,’ here is another that just missed the cut.

1016-Jilted John-Jilted John.
1978-Number 4 single.
Best Bit-At 1.53.The original Daft Punk.
Jilted John is the comedy creation of actor, and musician Graham Fellows,Fellows was born 22 May,1959 in Sheffield,England.He is also known for his portrayal of the fictional singer/songwriter John Shuttleworth,whom he created in 1986
In 1982 he made an appearance in the British soap opera Coronation Street as a biker called Les Charlton,who had a brief flirtation with the soaps longstanding character ‘Gayle,’nothing came of their meeting,he appears to have had a very lucky escape!
Fellows took his song ‘Jilted John’ to the small independent record label ‘Rabid,’ who initially promoted the track. It was first played by John Peel on Radio 1, who commented that if the single was promoted by a major label, it would be a big hit,it was EMI International who stepped in, and the rest is history.
The song is a send up of Punk Rock Music,a tale of an adolescent teenager called John, who is dating Julie,but Julie is attracted to a better looking guy called Gordon.I always felt sorry for people who were called Gordon in 1978.
‘But I know he’s a moron,Gordon is a moron,Gordon is a moron.’
