Man, I love this album!
Gotta say, 'Happy Hour' seemed a little fast, though ... |

It'd be hard for a song to follow The Proclaimer's 500 miles... but this one is a good choice!

SAD. Learn your music people! BNL would be the HOUSEMARTIN tribute band! Housemartins predate BNL and come from another continent. |

Note to self: upload "Reverend's revenge" from this album, one of my favourite short/simple/smiling instrumentals.

I'm a big BNL fan, so this song always throws me off at first until I realize what's up. ;)
Good stuff though, fun and bouncy! |

It's funny that some of the people on the board thought it was a BNL song.
All the BNL-haters who think they're little more than a novelty band would gain something by listening to The Housemartins whose often-humorous pop songs were obviously an inspiration them.
This is just a wonderful and jaunty li'l gem.
