"My Favourite Waste of Time" (also known as "You're My Favourite Waste of Time") is a song written and first released by American singer Marshall Crenshaw. His 1979 home demo of the song was released as the B-side of his 1982 hit "Someday Someway". The song was recorded by Scottish singer Owen Paul and released in the United Kingdom in 1986. It remains his biggest hit single, reaching number 3 on the UK chart in July 1986. Paul is usually considered as a "one-hit wonder" because of the song's popularity and the fact that it was his only UK chart single. This recording features future Thunder member Mark Luckhurst on bass. It was aborted on the television programme ''Pebble Mill at One'' when the band members just stood still instead of miming as they were unable to hear the backing track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bXIL0DTJGo )〕 In 2008, the song featured in a Coco Pops Coco Rocks commercial.
