I am liking the Super Furry sound more and more as I go through their catalogue. I bought this cd a while ago and it is still in rotation at Poacher mansions after hearing it first here. Splendid stuff.

Rich, tasty analog goodness, but too many servings may cause clogged arteries.

Still can't get over my kneejerk tendency to hear "Jane's getting serious" everytime this comes on.

I like this song. Don't understand it, but it's fun and funky and it makes me dance.
 
Thank you for being so eloquent!  I agree with you btw...{#Meditate}

Really good stuff.  I definitely heard some Bowie influence in this song, and sure enough the next song was Bowie's Golden Years.

I'm a HUGE SFA fan....and an even bigger Gruff Rhys fan, but this song is not one of my favorites. It's good, but there are better ones. Give their other songs a chance.....you will be glad you did. They rock!  Especially the live shows.....{#Dancingbanana_2}

Clipped from a website called SongFacts.

Frontman Gruff Rhys told The London Times March 20, 2009 that there is no such thing as an ambiguous Super Furry Animals lyric. He said: "I don't like leaving songs open to people's interpretation because I think it's a cop-out. It takes the p—s out of the listener if you don't know what you're singing about." As a consequence Rhys has been forced to superimpose a meaning on to this song. He said uncertainly: "I think we decided that moped eyes were bloodshot eyes."


 
This is one great example of unintended self exposure. Thanks for making me laugh by butt off!

Oh: good tune, by the way. Crispy sound.

Just saw an old episode of Jools Holland on which SFA performed.  Didn't know the song but their vocals and musicianship was really excellent!

Agreed. I tend to like it a little less every time I hear it. Plus I find it overplayed here and it has a terrible habit of sticking in my head.

5 today but probably lower tomorrow.
