Ooooo we've just come across the official Beijing 2008 Olympic theme music! Not quite what we expected but we kinda like it. It's even got a sing-a-long video, with words!
Beijing Olympics 2008 , Theme Song - Friends Forever
We think it's got a bit of the Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence about it!

Here's our suggestion for the UK's 2012 theme . . .
When we say ad, what we mean is an ad with a great soundtrack. E.on's recent See it and Save it advert is one of those very ad's. The advert features Broadcast 2000's fabulous single Get Up and Go.
During a moment of sheer boredom we thought we'd check out the new and much publicized Carla Bruni album, Comme Si De Rien N'etait. We weren't expecting very much so were particularly surprised when we heard a few clips, it's great, L'Amoureuse being one of our favourites! So it's off to Tesco for a bit of, "Excuses-moi, je voudrais Comme Si De Rien N'etait s'il vous plait!
Will Sarah Brown be the next First Lady to spend some time in the mixing studios. . .
Leon Jackson wants his debut album to be produced in a Paulo Nutini style.
Leon says he wasn’t allowed to sing Paulo Nutini songs on the show for fear of stereotyping him as another Scottish singer.
Leon said: “I always used to sing Paulo Nutini songs at karaoke and that’s the kind of style I’d like to record on my album. “Something like Paulo, and a bit James Morrison, is what I’m aiming for.”
Rock group Hamfatter featured recently on BBC2's Dragons Den. The group were offering a stake in future revenues for a load of cash! They have already had a 2 or 3 albums and even notched up a Number 2 in Austria. Popplastic didn't offer the group a deal but we thought they were kinda catchy....
Popplastic are in mourning, our favourite Golden Girl has popped her clogs. Yes the Emmy-winning actress Estelle Getty, best known as a wise-cracking octogenarian (Sophia) on the popular 1980s and '90s sitcom "The Golden Girls," died on Tuesday. She was 84.
Not only was the Golden Girls fabulous because of Sophia but it also had an amazing soundtrack, Thank you For Being A Friend....
Well we say interview, it went something like this...
Popplastic standing in Taxi rank outside central Edinburgh hotel, silver Mercedes pulls up, G'loud get out of taxi. Interview goes as follows...
Popplastic: Argh!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you G'loud, Nadine, Nadine, Nadine, Nadine! G'loud: Smile and make for the safety of the hotel lobby. Popplastic: (to GamblePop) Shall we follow them! Answer: No!
What an exclusive!!! We have seen them all, we have no further objectives for 2008!
Yes following the G'loud Edinburgh Castle concert Popplastic bump into the girls while waiting in taxi rank....
Unfortunately Popplastic weren't in attendance at the castle, though we were listening from the equally exclusive location of the bus stop on The Mound! However Agents PopMaximus and GamblePop were at the castle and reported back an amazing, awesome performance. Highlight being Call the Shots...
Girls Aloud - Call The Shots
Here's a few of our G'loud favourites.....
Girls Aloud - I Think Were Alone Now
Girls Aloud - Whole Lotta History
I'm dammed if I do and I'm dammed and if I don't . . .
It's all been a bit credible of late so it's with a great sense of relief that we return to the world proper pop!
BeFour are the most exciting thing to have happened at Popplastic Towers since Leon Jackson won X-Factor in 2007. BeFour are a German reality TV show pop group, the "Four" member are, Dan, Alina, Manou and Angel. The groups first single "Magic Melody" was a cover version of the song "Around The World" by ATC, and we just can't get enough of it!

and if that wasn't enough here's their album medley . . .

Check out the words in How Do You Do . . . "how do you do, you like me and I like you"....... inspired!
They're a kind of German Steps/Scooch hybrid . . .
All hail the Gods of Pop, Sharleen (Texas) Spiteri's back with a new single and a solo career!
All the Times I Cried is a fantastic 60's inspired single with a splattering of her old Texas sound. It's absolutely fabulous and scores five golden Popplastic disks (the maximum).
Today is. . . . the official Popplastic Celine Dion day 2008, so we thought we'd celebrate with our favourite Celine track, we've even got the words for you!!!!
