Nicko Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'vbe been hearing the hook for this song everywhere. When I finally heard the song I just can't get on with it and the band seems to be named after failing to get to the bog in time.. Listen from 1.00 for the good bit.

Nail Soup Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Is it the guitar hook you have been hearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Vocal style/delivery reminds me of The Flying Lizards version of Money 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know it’s an original part of the song. But I can see how it would get used in TV etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) I know the song well, being a 6music listener! I think the whole thing is very good. Because I mainly hear it 'in order', to me it seems like the song is already good, and then that riff comes in a raises it even more. (disclaimer: but I do like that kind of 'spoken word' delivery) Edited March 14, 2022 by Nail Soup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 That's a cracking song ....I must re-tune to 6 Radio from Planet Rock... I'm getting stuck in that "listening over and over again to your favourite oldies" thing and missing some good stuff. Last time I listened in I discovered Lets Eat Grandma and Wolf Alice...I wonder why I stopped...weird! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Love it, yes definitely a whiff of Flying Lizards on the delivery, but loved them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had never heard the song before, and then see it in a thread called disappointing songs, how can you find it disapointing, as your expectations should be pretty low to start with! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I approached it positively.... and was willing to be contrary and find it excellent. Instead I found myself concurring with the thread title... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Surely the Levis ad songs qualify here? Stiltskin and Babylon Zoo IIRC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember buying the 12" Stiltskin single and playing the vocal version. What a massive let down that was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
