I wouldn't give it either, personally. More of something in the middle, but I've voted yay.

A HUGE yay from me.
It's a great cover of what i think is one of the best pop songs, atleast from 2007.

Yay from me as well

Was slightly dubious about it before I heard it, but now I love it. It could only be improved my getting GLC to do the rap bit

And yay for now, not sure how it will stand up to many many repeated plays or whether I'll be listenning to it for years to come but for what it is it does it well, and makes me smile.

Don't disrespect me beeyatch The only way it can be decided is for Wire and GLC to settle it over a dance-off at the NME gig.

The fact is that, when I voted I thought that the whole thread was another one of those science-fiction ideas, but then I realised it was a fact so when I heard it ,I loved it.As far as I know I can't change my vote now...
