Sledge Hammer was a shock to me as a kid! It was overwhellming. And the music still holds up to this day.

Absolutely. And a few years ago I learned that the video was made by Aardman Studios (who would later become famous with Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep and many more excellent animations)!

Strange choise though… "Mon légionnaire" is one of Gainsbourg's weakest song and it's a cover version of an Edith Piaf song which is none of here greats either…

[Dr_Jones]

It's probably the most recent song that came out, I guess he got the assignment to pick some recent songs. However, O Superman is early 80s...
