There's an unwritten rule in the Guardian's Honest Playlist column: when you talk about the songs you love, be generous & give praise to other performers instead of being selfish & only praising yourself.

With her unabashed pettiness, Gloria Gaynor sets a new record. The Song She Sings at Karaoke? The Song That Changed Her Life? The Song She Wants Played At Her Funeral? Why, her own records, of course. And the last is available on her upcoming album, which you can buy at retailers everywhere.

When she mentions an ex-husband in passing, I was like, "We're there with you, buddy!" Add in a whole lot of Jesus Is Good! talk & it's an interesting look into the self-centered mind of a Trumper.
