I don't know if you've noticed, but Sklugoo is a little obsessive and compulsive. All the labels have to be right. The first series all had one-word titles; the second had two words so guess how many words are in each of the titles of the fifth series. Yup: five. So when he saw that this episode was originally conceived as The Must Hear Show he had to find a better word. Essential is that word, although, on reflection, Compulsive might have been better. Still, what is done has been gone and done.

Are these popular songs? Sklugoo guesses so (in some circles). Are these good songs? Pff. What is good? Are these some of Sklugoo's favourite songs from over the years? Heck yeah! And if you have any respect for a small, green meditating frog then you gotta get with the programme.
