This would-be contender for best anti-globalist anthem for the fashionable set comes from Toby Slater (formerly of Catch). First of all, has this song been released before (it sounds awfully familiar) and second: what's the verdict from the ILM-posse?

Somebody wake the singer from his narcotic stupor -- he's just rhymed "P&G" with "SmithKline B." (Isn't it GlaxoSmithKline now, anyway?)

Well, it sounds like the International Noise Conspiracy if they were trying to to wake the neighbors. And the rhymes are awfully lazy: the singer deliberately mispronounces half the names he's saying to force them to rhyme, which is the mark of lazy writing. Kind of like it anyway, though.

Trying NOT to wake the neighbors, I mean.
