I love Belle and Sebastian, they are a perfect fit on RP. More B&S would be a great addition to the already fantastic roatation

I worked with a gal who had two dogs, named Belle and Sebastian.  I thought I had found a mutual fan, however came to learn that she had never heard of the band.  She had named her dogs after the Disney characters.  Disappointing, and sick...

They're a 7-member band, not a duo. The name "Belle and Sebastian" doesn't refer to anyone in the band. It's taken from the name of children's book & TV show.from the mid-1960s.

I'm really, really trying to keep an open mind here but this may be the worst song I've ever heard.    It just might have to move ahead of "Feelings", "Tie a Yellow Ribbon", "Wind Between My Wings", and others on my list of the worst songs ever recorded.

Love this band, love this album, love this song. So unpretentious and fun.

Waaaaah!
that intro was great. It somehow breathed a breath of late sixties - early seventies fresh air into my brain.

It sounds as if a bunch of brilliant four-year olds were given a couple of popular 60's songs and asked to create something, "along those lines".
 

This band is much better than this song.  I am not sure why this song got picked, but it is not at all representative of their excellent music.

I suggest White Collar Boy and Act of the Apostle (Track 1) from this album.  Two of their finest.

I don't care what anyone says. This is the highlight of the entire Life Pursuit CD...which is full of great tunes. No matter how many times I hear this goofy tune, it still makes me smile!

Wow! Sounds like a mash-up of The Beach Boys with Archie Bell & The Drells, with the guitar work off 'Who's That Lady?' by The Isley Brothers! Interesting to say the least!
