Nick Abbot used to play this on his radio show when a caller sounded like a kook. Glad I found this. Great song :D

[phorever21]

I used to sing this song to my older brother whenever he pissed me off, haha!!

[thefallenangelnick]

omg, my theme song~! yay! XD

[d936b]

The sample is from a rendition of "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows".

[Amandapandakins]

One of the coolest songs I've ever heard.

[MCForty]

Apart from the sound effects, I don't think there are any samples in the song - it's original. "Why" backing vocals include a young Dido. I've got the original video of the band trying to create the video by performing publicly at the symbols of the British establishment e.g. Houses of Parliament, Scotland Yard, Buckingham Palace etc. I'll post it under my other account 'mindenalex' shortly.

Thx i'm looking for the response since a century !
