Just for that, I'm giving it a 7. And an extra 1 because I like them    

Those moaning about this sounding like the beatles, ever consider that this may have been done on purpose and that there's a story behind it? Yeah, crazy thought, isn't it?

Ha! You sound like a troll so I give you a 1 and you can fuck off too.

so tell us how you really feel about them

Great album on the whole.  If you like this track, the whole is worth acquiring.

This sounds like the Beatles?  Didn't know Supergrass were fakers, either.  Thanks for the very educational post.  Boy...  other than all that, what a great band and great song.

Check out Gaz Coombes' new solo 'effort' Bring on the Bombs or summat.

I like these guys a lot.

it's fun to try to pick out an artists musical influences as you listen to their work....many have developed their own unique sound while others sound much like those who've influenced them        .except for say  the smashing pumpkins...who just sound like a spoon caught in the garbage disposal

The Tour de France rolled into Rouen yesterday and all I could think of was "Road to Rouen" - too bad none of the other folks in the room appreciated the pun.

Sounds like Beatles, sounds like Kinks? Yeah, I hear those influences and I'm good with that. 

Summers just aren't the same without some new Supergrass tunes.

This is Supergrass.. and yeah, it rocks... thanks, RP !

Sound like the Beatles so I immediately hate them (those fakers!). Give it a 1 and f @#k it off the  playlist everyone!

I love this album, but they have lots of great songs on other albums... "Caught by the Fuzz," "Alright" and "Pumping on Your Stereo" would be welcome additions to the RP playlist.

Vibe????  Borrow from the best they say......coo coo ca shoo...

Ok, I've been at work since 5:45pm last night and my replacement is 20 minutes late.  Again. 

I could so use some Supergrass myself.

In order to keep this comment at least somewhat relevant to the song, I find this band somewhat hit or miss for the most part.  I have nothing against this song at all, but it just doesn't exactly grab me.  If I wasn't sitting next to the computer and grinding my teeth in annoyance, I would forget that any music was on at all.

I am actually getting more of a Beatles vibe.

Sounds kinda Kinks-ish to me.

Not bad, it has grown on me over the years.

I believe you've "nailed it."

Sometimes I think songwriters task themselves with a framed challenge for inspiration. For this song, I imagine that the challenge was to write an entire song with lyrics consisting of nothing but cliches.

Speaking of other bands ... Supergrass here reminds me a lot of Grant-Lee Phillips' "Dream In Color" so much so that I thought he was in this band. I like them both.

Nice!

I agree. The Beatles borrowed too.

John said he hated "Run For Your Life" because he "nicked" Elvis.

Nothing is created in a vacuum. 

You guys need to stop bitching about bands mirroring other bands. If more bands could try to emulate Pink Floyd, Beatles, Radiohead, and Hendrix...I'd be thrilled. Instead, we have FM radio trying to showcase the next Nickleback; might as well go back to Whitesnake, and really just get more depressed.

P.S. HMV is like the old Sam Goody. Selling CDs way overpriced...making people find alternative methods to widen their horizons.

You made me look up HMV.  For those like me who haven't heard of it, HMV is a retail entertainment chain selling CDs, among other things.  It is the largest such chain in the UK and Canada.

Aaaaah.... Yes 

This one is right at the top of my "Must Get" list (which is quickly, sadly, becoming my "CDs I Can't Find At HMV" list).
