Much better B&S sings to be had...

Big fan of B&S, but this isn't my favourite...

I see my "9" rating isn't helping very much here.

I would be so happy if I never heard this again.  Really bad.

someone's been listening to "Long Train Running" by the Doobie Bros
 
Minor seventh chords have been around forever, and that strumming style precedes The Doobie Bros.  However, this tune seems to have a lot of influences going on.

that pause towards the end, with the bass and heavy rhythm guitar...always remind of a talking heads tune, "Stay Hungry"?

once of the best dance songs of all time - can't believe this isn't rated higher. makes me dream about the B&S disco album that will never happen.

This tune always grabs me. I really like B&S's often quirky but original stuff but this is some of their best.

So far, this is my favourite Belle & Sebastian song.  Retro, yes, but a fun groove.

I love B&S; how have I never heard this song?  My loss...

Song gets a 7 but I'm bumping it to an 8 for the girl's look on the cover

What can I say... when the tempo slows down, I've got to turn the volume up loud and grove along...

Does everything have to be 'deep'?? I'm all for meaning but COME ON, have a little fun. One could argue that the meaning comes from their creativity with this song. Certainly not dull; I think it's fantastic and love the transitions in this song!!

 
I'm with kellis...  this song always grabs my attention, in a good way!

 
That there IS no meaning has DEEP meaning (for me, anyway).

I've said this before, but it get's me every time.  The begining of this makes me think Michael Jackson - Billy Jean's Not My Lover.
