This single marks the welcome return of Justin Hawkins, the most charismatic
front man of rock to be seen this side of 1984. His solo project 'British
Whale' happened, claims Hawkins, because he was 'lacking porpoise'. This
song has got a real vibe and is really fun to listen to. It is a breath of
fresh air in the room full of dank, boring and often depressing songs. It is
silly but that is the point! If you are in any doubt take a listen to the
equally awesome b-side 'America' which tells it exactly like it is. The
video, featuring Phil (The Power) Taylor and Ron and Russel Mael of Sparks
is also well worth a look. So rush out and buy it before it sells out!

Im sorry but there is no way you can not like this song unless you have a deep seeded hatred towards Justin Hawkins! This song is an instant pop classic and was just made for his falsetto style singing, instantly rememberable this song will be in your head the moment you hear it and believe me it wont get out!

Superb
Classic version of an already classic song. If you like the Darkness, then look no further than this for a quick fix while we wait for their new album.

Ok I guess...
I'm going to break the mould and swerve away from the Justin Hawkins worship for a second. Firstly I would like to salute Sparks for this absolutely incredible song. Read more

This is a brilliant single from Justin Hawkins. He's carefully combined synths, guitars and vocals into a working mix. Read more
