The old classic, we could either sing it all together, or we could pick our favourite line. Or both, even! So, let's not call each other Shirley, let's go!

I am unsure whether "Crank That" sounds best on red wooden transistors.

i was reading an old NME and noticed that 'seize the infidels' were in the gig guide, so at least all the bands mentioned in this song weren't made up

I really wish I hadn't missed this poll :( A belated vote for "Shirley - don't worry" please.

Madchen, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

I suddenly have a desperate urge to play this to my boyfriend.

Madchen, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 13:20 (eighteen years ago)

There can be no greater love than that which lays down "Sweeping the Nation" for their boyfriend.

Mark G, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 14:28 (eighteen years ago)

Wow, I am so pleased with myself for that one. For 65 seconds, anyway!
