The 2010-50 - No.35: I guess he's an Xbox and I'm more an Atari

"F*** You!" - Cee-Lo Green.

All together now, "I pity the foooooool....."

Better known to radio listeners as "Forget You" of course, the debut solo single by the voice of Gnarls Barkley was one of the year's more welcome no.1 hit singles. And let's face it, you couldn't say that for most of 2010's chart-toppers.

A delightful Motown-style ode to a gold-digging ex, this was full of fun. Now children, we know that bad language is not big, and not clever - unless you're Eminem in which case it's both - but this is the most entertaining use of the F word in a song in a long long time. A novelty song maybe, but a rather good record too.

"F*** You" video - this is NOT the "Forget You" one so parental guidance is advised etc etc - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU&playnext=1&list=PLE2425CE30866D0E8&index=14
