The Units - A Girl Like You (video linkified because teenage girls in gym kit content may not be ideal for in-work viewing)

though it was the Edwyn Collins which instantly started up in my head on seeing the thread title

I thought this would be down to Smithereens and Foreigner. Didn't realize there were so many others.

Lots of good choices but the Troggs are the indisputable winners afaic.

Yeah, the Troggs is garage pop heaven.

i voted for the troggs but i'm more surprised at the number of votes more so than the results.

I heard this in a bar the other day and its truly horrible, but the song they play in Rymans is much worse, "i got that fi-yah in my soul;, ugh just trying to buy a pencil

― saer, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 08:27 (nine years ago)

i missed a quote mark

"i got that fi-yah in my soul"

is the garbage that came out of the shop speaker

"trying to buy a pencil"

is what i was attempting to do

― saer, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 08:28 (nine years ago)

I like the notebooks in Rymans, but its just impossible to stay in there for more than 30 seconds
