But Nicky, don't you think we should write a song about more than a million balconies? A million balconies isn't that many balconies these days...

It makes the song! When I first heard it when I got the album I was like "Woah, quality dodgy sound effect, this song rules now!".
It does sound like someone kind of sniffing every two seconds or however long it is. Weird and amusing. Still a rocking song though! Would love to see that done live but it'll never happen.

I never noticed it before but I just listened to it and I know what you mean now!
That weird sniffy noise... I have no idea what makes that.

It's all I can concentrate on the song ever since someone here pointed it out.

SNIFF.

I know, great song but why the sniff? At least the sniff is in time with the music!

It's my second least favourite track on the album so it doesn't really do any damage the song hasn't gone through by itself already, so I'm not overly bothered by it. But I can never, ever stop hearing it. And I kinda wish that if the song ever makes a live appearance, they have someone doing the sniffs.

Would love to know what it genuinely is though.

It is a funny sound but you don't notice it that much once the song kicks in!
