It's getting a re-release next month due to it's appearance in that David Beckham Vodafone advert. Will I get to No. 1? What do u think of the song anyway? I always liked it.

I prefer Pop Will Eat Itself's "Can U Dig it," personally.

I've always liked this Mock Turtles song, possibly more than the PWEI one according to the one hit wonder rule.

The Mock Turtles were always the lamest of those early 90's Baggy Manchester bands.

Their only real claim-to-fame is that the band leader Martin Coogan is the brother of Steve "Ah-Ha" Coogan....

After the Mock Turtles finished he worked with his more successful brother on his terrible latin-lover pisstake "Tony Ferrino" album.

maybe, but the Mock Turtles album had a track called "Why Must I Share This Air With Foolish Men?", a question it's nice to ask oneself sometimes!

good god above.

I don't think so. It's the standard put it on an advert, get Fatboy Slim to re-mix it trick.

but fatboy hasn't remixed it has he ?
or has he ? i asked this question about 2 months ago.

He has, and it sounds shit by comparison to the original which is stunn-ing-ing-ing-ing-ah.

Shit, I've got a grebt Fatboy Slim picture that would fit in perfectly here and nowhere to host it, bah, can anyone help?

I didn't like the Cock Turtles back then, and now it looks like I will have to not like them again.
