Really, one can only conclude that Ian Broudie, chief Lightening Seed, is absolutely, frothingly, cross-to-the-other-side-of-the-street insane. Why else would he be able to conjure up endless songs from a elysian world where the sky is filled with candyfloss clouds, sugar-mountains and sticky-bun eyes? The cover of Jollification tells you everything you need to know about the man's head: a hyper-real blue sky filled with huge, juicy, multi-coloured strawberries. And named after Ken Dodd's word for merriment. How can one man be so happy? But then, if we had bright, bushy-tailed classic pop songs like "Change", "Marvellous", "Perfect" and "Lucky You" dropping into our heads at the rate of 12 a year, and were picking up the royalty-cheques from them being used on millions of adverts, then maybe we, too, would inhabit a world where we lived in constant danger of a large day-glo strawberry landing on our head as we climbed a sugar-mountain, and we died in a lovely big syllabub. --Caitlin Moran
