I didn't used to like this song. When it first came out I thought it was irritating, pretentious twaddle. A friend of mine put it on a compilation for me and I thought "Pah. You have been seduced by crowd hysteria." (I said: "Thank you.") I put it on my iPod anyway. And today it came on and.... I LOVE IT! I was so wrong. My friend and the hysterical crowd were so right. It's brilliant. I had to listen to it twice. The second time I had just got off the bus so I could listen to it running down my street which enhanced the mood yet more. It's petulant and joyful and the tune is great. And it has one of my favourite lyrics in it, the very simple but true "Why don't you like me without making me try?" Why indeed? WHY?
Enjoy. Remember, I am right about this.

It's a blockbuster!
And I can report it is very popular with 6-11year olds. SO much so that I am suffering overload. However, coincidentally I was about to blog about dancing to it...(And Worried about Ray by the Hoosiers, also a firm favourite with my mob - have you seen the mad video to that??)
Love it. And oh-so-appropriate for me just now. Am going to listen to it again. Tee hee.
It's not a bad song, it's... just... him.. I know it's stupid to say that, but that's how I feel.
I will never trust anything you say about anything, ever again.
That seems fair.
