I just find it a bit of a joke. I find it catchy, dancey. I like it, because i don't take it seriously. I dont get embarrased by it, because its intentionally funny i think... I hope

Well it's based on those programmes where they showed drunken clubbers falling out of clubs in Ibiza etc, so it's poking fun at them I suppose!

Black Dog On My Shoulder...

I think I've listened to it about 5 times at most. I can't help but skip past it...

One of my mates has the habit of slagging off Interiors whenever I dare talk about Manics with her. She's done it enough that I'm starting to see where she's coming from.. It's.. the least good song off Everything Must Go, for me.

I really like Interiors, lyrically it's quite interesting. I like the way James sings "What you have left!". It's a good vocal.

Further Away or Australia are probably my 2 least favourite songs from that album, although it changes.

Working Class Hero
I realised sometime ago WHY every cover is so shit. why? because it's a shit song in general, from the very beginning. okay, it's got FANTASTIC lyrics but also crap music that ruins everything. bleurgh

bu.. bu... but Manics covers are the best, everything they touch turns to gold, especially Umbrella.

The original version of Working Class Hero is dreary and boring, so any cover version doesn't have much of a chance.

I think the Manics version has just the right amount of bristling aggression.
