(Top 50 Countdown!!!) 50. to 11. recap

The top-fifty countdown (or ‘Top 50 Countdown!!!’, to give it its full name) of the 'most important' singles in Pooh Sticks world only has the Top 10 to go, so let’s recap on the ones 50-11. Me, I’d be taking issue with at least a couple of these but, what with me being in the other room playing with the cats and everything much of the time, I suppose I’m not best-placed. In the end, though, I think we can rely on it, cos when Steve just looked over this list again I’m sure I saw him go all misty (blue) and he quickly left the room claiming to have something in his eye.
