Creep - Radiohead. Its so damn cheesy (in a good way), but Thom totally goes for it and belts out that climatic chorus.

:haha: No. But what she does with it has been so widely imitated that I couldn't help myself.

You mean, you actually enjoy TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE THE HEART?

Actually there are plenty of melodramatic v.p on 10 now that i think about it.
