So, let's start with the tune that ended up in last place, only just ended up in last place, on a tie-break, but earning minus one point for the 1980s.

And Oliver says, I didn't know this one, but it's as enjoyable as a trawl through his personal life section on Wikipedia is depressing.

So what? So quite enjoyable? No, not
enjoyable.
Oh, right.
Oh, yes.
It's
quite enjoyable.
It is depressing.
Therefore, it's quite enjoyable.
Yeah.
Right.
It's either a really good compliment, backhanded compliment.
I like it anyway.

Oh, yeah.
It's ambiguous, isn't it? Because it's like the level of enjoyment of Every Little Step matches the level of depression
on his personal life.
