Paris - Captain Morgan
I was excited when I first heard this song because it name-checks two gay icons, Barry Gibb and Jake Shears, but it was ruined a bit as they also mention Matt Bellamy (the singer of Muse, in case you're lucky enough not to know). It's a lovely song which reminds me of 90s indie-pop such as Lush, or Charlotte Hatherley's best solo material, and the lyrics are funny, telling of a day where the singer meets each of the aforementioned celebrities... or at least is drunk enough on Captain Morgan rum to think she did. The only problem with this Swedish band is that you can't say you like them in case people think you mean Paris Hilton.
