You can check it out at http://www.whosampled.com/sample/760...erybody-Dance/

go to 25 or so seconds for the steps version and 16 seconds for the Chic version.

So shameful...
Oh dear, you're right! Thanks for clearing that up.

Which would lead to another question I'd love to have answered: what are his top 3 flavours of chewing gum? He seems to be chewing gum ALL the time lately (in interviews), and honestly, it's doing my head in!

What exactly would you be expecting to see on his left foot/toes? And do I even want to know?

How long ago did he quit? Maybe it's nicotine gum or he uses gum in place of having a smoke.
Don't know why I'm thinking so much in to this! haha

Well, DID he quit? I was wondering whether it was nicotine gums, as well.

Why has Nicky never appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks? On a related note, I just found out Rhod Gilbert is the new full-time host.

Why has Nicky never appeared on Question Time despite being asked so many times because we'd love you to!? They even did one from Newport this year...

I think he said he's been asked loads before but has declined to do it on one of his random principles

I'd ask Sean what's the secret to his amazing weight loss. He is so tiny at the moment and has really lost some weight in the past few years. Lookin Very Good

I'd imagine they're rather fed up of them yes.

I mean - have you seen the state of us MSP fans? None of us are lookers really, are we?

Naw I'd say they appreciate it.

I'd love to know exactly how many groupies Jimbo nailed back in the day. I'd say 100+.

I'd love to ask how they put up with Simon Price and following on from that how, as well-read people, they allowed a piece of fan fawning drivel like 'Everything: A Book About Manic Street Preachers' to be put out with their endorsement.

I did. When I met them at Leeds in 2008 I told JDB that playing the first part of a song and not playing the song was taking the piss out of people. I'm sure it fascinated him!

I'd ask them to rank the post-TIMTTMY albums in the order of how honest they felt they were being to their then-taste in music at the time. To ricochet around styles so much while always protesting that the current album is 'true' and what came before is now disowned, I don't know if I fully buy that.
