While outwardly insisting “it’s not like I’m in love,” the song paints the aching feelings of a man who has in fact fallen deeply in love, set against a dreamlike melody.

Released in 1975 by the British rock band 10cc, it topped the UK Singles Chart and reached No.

Carpenters – Superstar

Speaking of the Carpenters, their music is known for its gentle, uplifting feel, but some of their songs exude a certain sensuality.

Among those, the one I especially recommend is “Superstar.” While the chorus is set in a major key, the other sections are in a minor key, resulting in a sexy melody imbued with wistfulness throughout.

As for the vocal line, it uses a scale found in Japanese kayōkyoku (popular songs), making it one of the easiest Carpenters’ songs to sing.

With its upbeat, disco-style sound and the music video featuring her in a leotard that completely changed her previous image, it’s a song that really captures the spirit of the 1980s.

A recommended number for those with a healthy vibe.
