Brilliant intro! I used to listen to the first 10 seconds of this song again and again and again. Love their music, love their lyrics - so funny and witty.
Never seen the video to this. Mainly coz when this came out only chance you got to see music videos was The Chart Show on saturday mornings or if you were lucky to have Sky and u had a whole 2 music channels to choose from lol.
Not to knock them, but when I saw them live they did an encore and played the only 2 hits they had at the time - which they had ALREADY played earlier in the set!! Been to hundreds of gigs and the only time I think I will ever witness that! lol
this has everything, cheesy british trumpets that sound like they come from some holiday add, dated 90's electronica keyboards and scratching samples, mild distorted guitars, a faux american accent from a mancunian brit pop slacker singer and a general crapness that could never be purposefully replicated - brilliant!
tin planet was the first album i ever got, i remember being like 8 and buying it with my mum and sister, who bought an all saints cd. then later i remember my mum walking in when i was listening to it and reading through the lyrics sheet "hmmm... i see your cd has choice language too, i wouldn't have bought it for you if i had known beforehand!" hahaha.
@asteve76 I love that film - and I think it kind of describes Jez and Dylan because no matter what scrapes they get into, they never sell each other out and they always stick together - coz they're more like brothers than partners and best friends!
Haha wow...the first album I ever heard from this band was Spiders. At first listen they were a bit too 'poppy' for me. But they quickly grew on me and changed my mind! Haha this, Female of the Species, Lovechild of the Queen and Mister Psycho currently hold first place in my list of favorites from Space
aww, when did he die? Was on here looking for the b-side to this , spiders - anyone know if it's available on here? This song and Spiders are mine and my hubby's 'songs' - how romantic! lol
Im truly saddened, met these guys in their local in Liverpool and they were so nice to me. Love their music, the vids are funny and I will treasure my Spiders album. R.I.P Andy,stars will b shining 4 u mate L J xx
Wow takes me right back to 1996 - what's amusing is that you could still buy 4-Star petrol in the UK then, which you can see as the red coloured pumps in the petrol station scenes in the video.
CLASSIC. I WAS IN THIRD GRADE WHEN THIS CAME OUT. Time does fly.... :'C'' hahaha this used to be my background song in my head before i go to sleep thinking of those puppy love moments during class. Awesome band. CHEERS!!!
Haha for years i thought the opening line was "I burst my tube hanging knickers on the line"!!! .... I used to wonder what the hell that meant! I'm such a retard
Bring back the 90s what a great selection of bands with the likes of supergrass, Blur, Oasis, bluetones, the manics, ocean colour scene, space, cast, soundgarden, reef, pulp, radiohead, nirvana, the go go dolls, greenday, metallica, third eye blind, smashing pumpkins, garbage, the verve the list keeps going if i could pick a time to travel back to it would be the 90s
@lickicatsbum metallica and greenday are from the 80's, theyre just famous now. and ur wrong, bring back the 60's and 70's where there was Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin And The Beatles.
@09hysteria then i pity not only you but your mother and father as they truly dont give a damn about you, also th school that you went to as it was clarly awful. Good grammer matters and when idiots like you abuse it you make yourself look uneducated
@09hysteria if knowing the difference between their and there makes me boring so be it, it means i paid attention in school and makes me better than you!
@themarcrpearson does it really? your having an argument over the internet probably over somthing meaningless (wont waste my time looking for it) your no better than anyone els, including me because i chose to dignify this with a responce
Stone Roses, Smiths, Oasis, Mondays, Kinks, Stones, Led Zeppelin, Blur, Suede, Clapton, Morrissey, Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, Coldplay, James, Manics, Ash, The Verve and so on and so on....from Liverpool, er, no.
Hey punkrockfuneral, thanks for the post. This song and the others from Space bring back memories. I still have Spiders on cassette, but I've lost my Tin Planet. It's hard to get them here in Malaysia. Cheers mate!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
They never wrote these lyrics I did. I was a postman at the time. Would doa long night shift. gwet in tired, didn't want to wake the wife up so would just go on my computer and wrtite poems for hours every morning. Did it for a few months. Cant believe it now. Well once u wake up u wake up dont u.
Only jesting, ace song, ace Scouse band and what a bird in the video. Funny, I always pictured her as being a bedraggles skinny little wretch when I heard the song on, get this, a 12"LP!!
All the northern britpop bands looked like shit didn't they? Shit haircuts, shit clothes, fucking pig ugly. Still... this is a tune! I saw them at a uni and they were good... of those were the days...
