If you use iTunes, there is a free popcast over at PopJustice that includes the West End Girls version of 'West End Girls'.

You don't have to use iTunes. Any podcast software will do.

I found one called Juice that seems to work well enough.

I rather like their version of West End Girls. Far better than East 17's effort anyway.
Passion, love, sex, money, violence, religion, injustice and death. More on that story later.

When will the hype end? Two Barbies in tight Village People outfits can't hide the fact that the songs are a load of crap. But then of course, this forum does feature plenty of people who are mad about Kylie and Rachel "the other Kylie" Stevens, not to mention Madonna, so why do I bother even?
