Having just got home from My brother's gig at a club in Chelmsford and having heard 4 of my favourite songs of all time; I have decided to write a list of the best songs in the whole world (in my opinion). Here goes:

Elton John & Tupac - Ghetto Gospel

Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas

The Streets ft Professor Green - When You Wasn't Famous (cos it's got my name in it - yes folks - MY name 'Jodie Marsh'!)

So there you have it. In my opinion these are the greatest songs in the whole world. I love all of them for different reasons. Some are great to sing to, some are great to belt out at the top of your voice, some are great to dance/grind/throw yourself drunkenly round a dance floor to, some are good to play whilst driving. Some are good for moshing to, some are good for shagging to. Some are just good to sing in someone's face in a club when they're annoying you. Some get me fired up and ready for action, some make me cry. Some are amazing love songs and some are about losing the one you love. Some have the most amazing lyrics in the world and some are pure cheese but make you feel happy when you listen to them. Some are without doubt the most well written songs in the world and some are a load of rubbish but make you feel good when you listen to them. They all either make me laugh hysterically, smile fondly, throw myself round a club (or even house) or sob into my pillow. Some are new, some are old, and some are old-skool. They all have one thing in common - they're my favourite songs EVER!!!!

Now kids - print this list out and track down every song on it cos I can guarantee that you will learn something about real music, you'll want to dance and you'll want to laugh out loud. For real education see this website! Ha ha.

I mean it - print it out and track them down. These are the best songs EVER!!!!!

And even if no one else cares; I can look back over this list when I'm 90 and remember with happiness all the songs that made my life better. This is the sound track to my life so far and for every song on here I can smile and remember good things. Every single one has its own significance and every one has brought me untold amounts of joy. These are the songs I want played at my wedding (if that ever happens) and also the songs I want played at my funeral (I want it to be a LONG funeral!). I may have missed a few (after all it is 1am) but essentially these are all the songs I love the most and could happily listen to every day (and sometimes do!)

Lots of love and happy searching (for those who do want to be educated and/or just listen to some quality music!) ;)

Enjoy x
