Bubbly gets a 6 from me. Very nostalgic.

2007 is nostalgia?
Nostalgia is more than frequently linked to your youth, so it is not so strange to be nostalgic to this song if you were a kid or teenager 14 years ago. I was going to mention nostalgia here myself, because Bubbly is very much linked to a time and place for me. In 2007 this was already on Dutch radio a lot; it was inescapable. It became even more so for me when I bought a MP3 player that year that had two songs pre-installed: something by Beethoven and Bubbly. I decided to keep the song on there for a while and actually listened to it quite a bit. It was the Summer and soon I would leave home to study in Amsterdam. No song is as tied to that pivotal period than Bubbly. It perhaps helps that the as ubiquitous as the song was in 2007, I barely heard it since, so the rare time it pops up somewhere it takes me back. I'm surprised to learn that Collait had more hits than this; I always thought she was a real one-hit wonder.

At the time the song really stood out to me because of it's cute evocation of the feeling of butterflies in the stomach. The giddy, light feeling of falling in love is rather well-captured. I guess at the time I wanted a girlfriend who crinkled her nose. Still, the song is a bit slight and I also remember that after that Summer I was really done with it. Returning to it now I feel more or less the same way. It's damn likeable, but there is also too little to it to feel like returning to it more. Not something for on my all-time list, but it has a nice memory.

I'm going to be 22 in May, so I was about 7-8 when Bubbly came out. Played all the time on our local stations.

My nostalgia hit from when I was 8 was "World Without Love" - I gave that an 8.

I still need to listen to #s 748 to 763, but they'll have to miss my votes for Rob's roll out this time round.

764 Blind Guardian – Banish from Sanctuary - 4
765 Mercury Rev – Car Wash Hair - 8 [I'm a big of Mercury Rev, but hadn't heard this early one. I'd heard other early ones and not thought that much of them, but this one has the sound that I love]
766 Barry Ryan – Eloise - 7.5 [The Damned's version of Eloise is one of my all time favs. The original doesn't quite hit the OTT-ness that The Damned grab me with]
767 Black Sabbath – Wicked World - 5
768 Sharon Redd – In the Name of Love - 4
769 bob hund - Nu är det väl revolution på gång? - 6.5
770 Joe Cocker – N’Oubliez Jamais - 4
771 Marble Sounds – The Silent Song - 4.5
772 Luna – Bonnie and Clyde - 6.5
773 Jesu – We All Faulter - 4
774 Abbey Lincoln – Afro Blue - 5.5
775 Lenny Kravitz – I’ll Be Waiting - 4
776 Big Star – You Get What You Deserve - 5
777 Youssou N’Dour – Leaving (dem) - 6
778 Sugababes – Freak Like Me - 8 [#4434 AT]
779 Isaac Hayes – Never Can Say Goodbye - 7
780 Colbie Caillat – Bubbly - 6
