Web Wanderings: Cool clips, love songs and not so New Kids!

Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya)

File this one under guilty pleasures. I totally can't get Ashlee Simpson's newie Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya) out of my head. It is a seriously catchy song, a little bit Gwen Stefani-esque (ok, a lot), and I'm sure you'll be hanging out to hear it on Rage every Saturday morning for the next month or so!

I'm still not sure why Ashlee felt the need to have all that plastic surgery (she was gorgeous to begin with), but the girl still knows how to front a fun pop song and if she reads this, she'd probably tell me to shut up, because I'm "ay ya ya-ing" in her head... or something.

N.K.O.T.B.com

Well, well, well! It seems like band reunions are all the rage right now, what with The Spice Girls, The Police, and many other broken up bands getting back together. Now it looks like the boy band that pretty much started the whole boy band phenomenon are getting back together. That's right, New Kids On The Block are back!

Even if you're too young to remember them from their heyday, you're probably familiar with some of their songs, and it will be très interesting to see what their comeback is like, especially when taking into consideration that the youngest "kid" is actually 35-years-old… good thing they officially changed their name to N.K.O.T.B! Rumours still abound as to what their comeback will actually consist of, but either way, it's high time Donnie, Jordan, Joe, Danny and Jon got back together to give us girls who were too young the first time around a chance to see them strut their "right stuff"! Register at their website to get all the deets when they arise.

Charmer

Kings of Leon's latest clip is a very interesting one. Apparently they wanted to be hypnotised for the video, but their strong constitutions meant they couldn't fall under the hypnotist's spell and "3,2,1, they were back in the room!" (If you're familiar with Little Britain, you'll get the reference!) So instead, the three brothers and their uber-hot cousin simply pretended to be hypnotised, resulting in an intense and ultimately awesome clip.

The band just recently toured here, and to say they were fab live would be an understatement. If you ever get the chance to see them strutting their stuff live, you must go, and wear your dancing shoes, y'all!

Lurrrrrve songs!

Since February is the month of Valentine's Day, and all things romantical, love related, and heart shaped etc., here's a few YouTube picks for the in love, the lovelorn, and for those who just love a good song!

>> Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield
Hilary Duff covered this Pat Benatar classic on her recent tour, and it is just such a great song!

>> Kylie Minogue - Wow
Love love love Kylie's new fluoro pop love song.

>> The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Anyone who thinks The Cure play only depressing, gothic music clearly haven't heard this song!

>> Ashlee Simpson - L.O.V.E.
Put this one on and dance up a girl power storm with your besties!

>> Hilary Duff - So Yesterday
Heart broken? Give it time and it will seem "so yesterday".

>> Rihanna - Hate That I Love You
Rihianna mixes up her upbeat pop hits with this ballad collaboration with Ne-Yo.

>> Fergie - Clumsy
"Clumsy 'cos I'm falling in love, ooh yeh".

>> Madonna - Cherish
Classic video, classic song.

>> N.K.O.T.B - Step By Step
Yes, one of them is wearing overalls - but it's still a très fab song!

>> Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Many have tried to imitate Joy Division, but the original is still the best.

>> Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
Considered by many to be one of the most annoying songs of all time, it's really only acceptable to play whilst watching Titanic, but we'll forgive you for giving it a spin this time of year.

>> Justin Timberlake - Lovestoned/I Think She Knows
It sounds just like a funky, semi-dirrrty pop song until he gets to the swoonish interlude… love it!

>> Ryan Adams - New York, New York
Rumour has it that New York is a euphemism for Winona Ryder in this song, but either way, it's gorgeous, and is also one of Ryan's best videos - shot in front of New York's Twin Towers just days before they were knocked down in the horrific events of 9/11.

>> Linday Lohan - Over
A few years ago, when Lindsay had red hair a burgeoning career, she made this awesome song + clip... check it out.

>> Oasis - Wonderwall
We're not quite sure what a wonderwall is, but this is one lovey dovey song that never gets old.

>> Ben Kweller- Sundress
This is such a cute song!
