although not for this song. You think this is a rip off, check out Wire's 'three girl rumba" and compare it to Elastica's 'connection'. This was the song they had to pay up for.
@jimbophil Connection is, however, 1000 times better than three girl rhumba. Three girl rhumba only has the beginning, weaker than Connection, and you could throw away the rest of the song. Connection was an incredible improvement over Three Girl Rhumba. So even if they settled out of court, I still think Connection is a better achievement. Wire should be grateful: I wouldn't know of their existence if not for Elastica.
Yup - and Brett Andersons' of Suede as well, and I think this song was about one or both of them and their new girls. All three bands joke-sniped at one another in their lyrics.
What's wrong with the drummer? Does he feel sick or something? I always thought this lot ridiculously overrated at the time..

Wait, this sounds exactly like Wire's I Am The Fly from Chairs Missing. Exactly. Smells like a rip off.

in fact some years later they had to pay an out of court settlement to Wire.

Really? That's funny! Brett's still the Man, tho.

So a sensitive council estate boy gets parodied in 'Charmless Man' as a City boy with bottomless pockets? That's, er, highly unconvincing..
