The Beatles completely conquered America while Supergrass remained a virtual unknown in the States: their first four albums failed to make the Billboard charts. The band returns to the E-D pattern for two verse lines, then makes a dramatic and exciting move to another key A , also taking an unusual route to get there—instead of the expected E-D-A , we get F-C-A , one chord higher than expected, one chord lower.

When they do get to the ass-kicking, the impact is positively orgasmic well, at least in my case. The aspect of random selection and just plain bad luck is reinforced by the last line of each chorus where he expresses regrets for not staying at home on that particular night.

The vocal captures the emotional rollercoaster of the experience fairly well, but I found myself much more moved by the acoustic version that appears on the In It for the Money limited edition bonus CD. The removal of constant guitar distortion allows you to experience the emotional nuance in the vocal. The song was a Top 20 single barely , probably due more to the ear-friendly harmonizing in the instrumental passages than the song itself. The video is instructive, for it shows how teenage-gorgeous Gaz Coombes was and briefly highlights his androgynous appeal to all gender variations.

The song relates the classic fun-and-exciting things teenagers do hang out with friends, take up smoking, sample penises and pussies, drive cars with reckless abandon and the joys that follow from a complete absence of responsibility. The song became a teenage anthem, and though Supergrass denied that was their intent, the denials were absolutely useless—no artist has control over how the populace chooses to interpret a particular work, especially when the critics are trying to stir up the crowds and increase circulation.

Obviously, the lyrics had little to do with making this song a hit, so we look to the music and hear a spirited vocal and solid guitar work from Gaz, acceleration-provoking rhythmic changes, fast-moving bass runs from Mick Quinn and a stunning display of power and finesse from Danny Goffey on the drums. The phrasing and pronunciation are pure Jagger, which is probably where my dad caught hints of a Stones influence.

The mania surrounding the band and the Spielberg offer left this very young band with an existential choice: to continue to explore musical possibilities or to go for the gold. It is to their everlasting credit that Supergrass decided to reject the offer. Too easy. Short cut. If you have to do all that to be the biggest band in the world. And all that… [the publicity offers] would have just got in the way of the music. It would have taken so long to get to grips with.

Right up there in the third paragraph of the review segment! Way to foreshadow, altrockchick! I do feel this is an ideal one to proffer some thoughts and memories. I loved it the first time I heard it, but thereon it became a problem because I kept on hearing it over and over as it was played to death and I gradually grew to loathe the song as I dunno… I had problems with how overly happy and jolly it was.

I heard it again about three months ago and though I have some happy memories attached to it, I found the song just as annoying as ever. A shame. I was so jealous of his facial fungus as I found it impossible to grow the things! Like Like. Like Liked by 1 person. I enjoy every review, even when I disagree, and I learn from every one of them.
