Who is singing "I Want You Back" on the Muller Corner advert? I like it but it's probably someone appalling.

Nicole Scherzinger apparently. Not that I've seen/heard it.

Whoever she is.

Really?
I thought she was a manufacturer of tennis rackets.

Ann Peebles - I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down
Heard this in a coffee bar yesterday. Love Graham Parker's version, and know Paul Young's one, but hadn't heard the original before.
Impossible question time. I was standing in a garden centre a few weeks ago and there was a song on the piped music system called something or other Town. First, I thought it was Springsteen. Then Ryan Adams. Then Billy Joel or another artist in the 1970s although it had a pop/rock country twang. It was quite harmonious in the chorus. And it was something like Dirt Town or Dregs Town or Gutter Town or Dole Town - that was the sentiment although it might have had an all American name like Dirks Town or Smiths Town or Schmidts Town. It could be very new or it could be very old. It's been driving me mad ever since trying to discover what it is. Hay-ulp!

Some interesting stuff about Sid in Viv Albertine's book.

Saw Adam quite a few times before he became a highwayman. Was often on the bill at the Music Machine in Camden, and the Lyceum, or as a support act. Wouldn't have guessed his pop star transformation based on his earlier music/look.

Don't think Whiskeytown did a song called Whiskeytown but that is the general idea.
Thanks.

Weird coincidence though. I thought it was something you'd heard on the radio, but then I reread your post about it being piped music, not a radio station.
People post these kinds of questions regularly on RYM, and usually get the answer pretty quickly. Might be worth a try? Quick and easy to register, and they don't spam you.
Whiskeytown had a song called Mining Town. Maybe that's it?
