Baby Can I Hold You by Boyzone
TITLE: Baby Can I Hold YouARTIST: Boyzone
CHART POSITION: 2
DATE IT WAS A HIT: December 1997
B-SIDES?: 'Shooting Star', the theme from Disney's film 'Hercules'. The film was actually quite funny, but the song was was the aural equivalent of treacle.
CONTEXT IN MY LIFE: I was 18 and in my final year at school, and I'd like to state for the record that Boyzone weren't typical of my music collection. Fool that I was, I didn't realise that 'Baby Can I Hold You' was originally a Tracy Chapman song, and that she sung it much better, but something about Ronan's tortured Irish tones must have got me.
DISCERNING OR DISMAL?: Er, there's no contest, really. The only consolation for me is that at least it wasn't a Westlife single.
