Whoa!  I am a HUGE fan of Underworld and I never knew!  I have always loved "Doot Doot" and even the early Underworld "Underneath the Radar".  Dubnobasswithmyheadman remains my all time favorite (esp Cowgirl).  I was so totally happy they got some play during the London Olympics opening ceremony.  Guess Danny Boyle is a fan too!  He had them on his Trainspotting soundtrack way back when.

I guess I wasn't in the mood for this last time I heard it, because I had it at a 5.  For some reason this morning it really caught me and now it's an 8.  Nice groove. :)

... and Underworld used to be Freur ... way back. Quite some transformation.

I liked the song but what was that annoying instrument every other second or so? sounded like a wet shoe and was distracting as heck!

does jj cale know about this?

Bill, you're reading my mind today! Most excellent. Thank you!

Yeah, I like it as well. 7.

actually, any singer who does that electronic thing to their voice gets a great big fat fail

I actually like this, reminds me of Ian Brown.

A match made in...the Underworld?

Why am i thinking that this guy deserves someone like Fever Ray?

Yeah! Love hearing Underworld on RP! Maybe something from Beaucoup Fish or one of the earlier albums next time? :)

Haha, you are honestly comparing that drum programming to Underworld's?  You must be new..

Wow... I just came here to add a comment about the icky vocal effect... and I see I already did it. Still feelin' the same way.

Whoever invented that icky vocal effect needs a punch in the throat.

I like the banjo and guitar, the synth is ok but the drum machine was a bad idea. Get a drummer, please, it would improve the tune greatly. Sounds amateurishly sloppy and repetitively irritating with that cruddy drum machine setting. Makes me yearn for New Order or Yaz or Erasure, at least they know how to use drum machines properly.

Does noboy get the subtle changes ere? The synth that comes in gradualy mixes so well with the tone of his singing.. makes the heart warm...

And as for this being an Ad for Coca Cola...

The method used by Karl Hyde when writing his lyrics, is not based on anything but the result of his random brain functions it seems, and it would be pretty much impossible for anyone to try and succesfuly work out why he sings some things.. his lyrics are often completely incoherent (as in much of this song) and the result of his everyday life (much like his photography)

furthermore, he was at that time a brand spanking new recovering alcoholic and when you consider lyrics like "lager lager lager lager lager" (Born slippy) to "Oh classic Coca-cola in a can when you wanna go down" its plainly obvious this isnt an Ad..its his new life

but really its impossible to know...its not an ad.. give underworld some credit!

Ohhhh noooooo!

It's interesting that they can say "Classic Coca Cola" and no one seems to mind, but if (insert hated teen singer of the moment here) said "Classic Coca Cola" in a song everyone would cry "sellout!" But because this song sounds like it does, somehow it's ok. Not for me - I don't want to hear ads in my songs and this is an ad, same as any (insert hated teen singer of the moment here) song. Cool doesn't make it ok.

Sorry dude, can't help you here.

Drum loop or no drum loop, anything by Jose G. gets at least an 8 from me...
