[SSCFPA]

Great track. Happy memories.

[JamieLandan]

Fucking adverts, hate 'em. 

[DefinitelyMaybeIon]

Though this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in It doesn't call for total withdrawal I've been told it's a fact of life Men have to kill one another Well I say there are still things worth fighting for La Resistance! Though this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in It doesn't call for (bubble withdrawal) It said human existence is pointless As acts of rebellious solidarity Can bring sense in this world La Resistance!

[NoMoreWarNoMore]

absolutley amazing

[glaeken14]

If I can Get Someone to open your eyes,that's enough!

Laetitia Sadier,1994

[AbbeyRoadkill1]

Awesome harmonies. Great lyrics. Killer music. Massive energy. Thank you Stereolab, WE'RE NOT WORTHY!

[djdepaolo]

why does it sound so slow?

[xX7blackrosesXx13]

i saw this dumb hooker on MTV say she looks shit like this up so i did and this is fucking magical.

[mrmojorisin2211]

@xX7blackrosesXx13 mtv used 2 b cool now it is full of corporate compliant bimbos and sexed up children. this track is real rock and roll.

[johnbarry1965]

ENA APO TA KALUTERA TOYS TRACK.....RESPECT.....TERASTIA BANDA

[thevoluptuous]

This is a different version (or at least a different key?) from what I have! Where is this from?

[DigitalPrinciples]

@thevoluptuous The original version, called 'French Disco', appeared on the 'Jenny Ondioline' EP. The band later re-recorded it as 'French Disko' (this version here) and released it as a limited edition single in November 1993, getting them their first Top 75 UK chart placing. I also remember this version getting played on breakfast radio. This version can also be found on 'Refried Ectoplasm (Switched On Volume 2)'.

[moderndarkage]

this and the noise of carpet--the best

[fatfrankblack]

the best song of all-time then, right?

[GedKelly1999]

@fatfrankblack Yeah - one of many, as I recall! I have dim memories of the great men coming back from a holiday and playing about 4 songs straight off, this being one of them, and Mark describing each of them as the greatest song ever recorded. Which is exactly why it was such a briliant show - PASSION!

[ScooterPAK]

An awesome band. Takes me back this song. Laetitia, another bird who must have lost my number. Along with Hope Sandoval, Bilinda Butcher and Naomi Yang.

[20smallcigars]

Love this tune! :D

This is the song that got me into Stereolab.

[grayoracle]

sounds like "the way it is" by the strokes (it's intro)

[hektorpike]

@grayoracle dont you mean "the way it is" sounds like this?

[glowball01]

oh man I looooove this song...

[MrJimojim]

What a song! Takes me back to Mark and Lard on the radio at night when I was kid. They played this every night for weeks.

[thesourceenforcer]

@MrJimojim Same here although I think it was more like months not weeks from the end of '93 well into '94.

[MrJimojim]

@thesourceenforcer great days. Hit the north, with mark and lard was my mysical upbringing. It's great to know others remember it too. Although 93-94 (god I feel old).

[thesourceenforcer]

@MrJimojim Yes, it really is that long ago! This song and Stina Nordenstam's Little Star are the two songs that take right back to being 17 and listening to Mark and Lard live from the 'Palace of Glittering Delights'.

[MrJimojim]

@thesourceenforcer Your coment made me think back to some of the great tunes that would have passed me by if it wasn't for them. Little green bag (won their 3 for fun at end of show for weeks), inspirals with Mark e smith I want you, Frentes accidently kelly street, bowie and the jam. Even their Radio one show was good, I wish they would work together again. 'Biggybiggybong'

[howrisky]

Fuck me.

this is so good.

[melodieDeLaVie]

FOREVER FAVORITE ..FOREVER MELODIE  ,FOREVER

:)

[RAVENSBURGER01]

[mobyboy]
