I'm not going to recite the lyrics (it mostly sung through one of those vocoder thingies).... but Johan Cruyff, the world's greatest ever footballer is namechecked in there.

Ice Hockey Hair is the best SFA song ever..... I never really got into their first album, but then Ice Hockey came out and I saw them do a fucking storming headline slot on the second stage at Reading 98 and I've loooooooooooooooooooooooooved them ever since Very Happy

I spent a sleepless night wondering if I'd got that wrong, then got up, listened to it half a dozen times, was none the wiser and extremely pissed off cos I had to be up at 5am.
Thanks for the confirmation (or should that be correction) and sorry to all for spreading mis-informtion.

the furries are fucking ace - ice hockey hair is better than smokin which is a bit dull by their standars. top notch sleeve too, agree with that.

forgot to put

St Etienne - Kiss & Make Up (which has to be one of the best cover verisons of all time) and I Was Born On Christmas Day

on the list. Great singles too.

"Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
Underworld - Born Slippy" - Tommy Tynans Lovechild
Good fucking call!

- at this point i'm going to have to cite all those belle and sebastian singles, even though i know they're intentionally left off the records for nostalgic flair. marketing is marketing, right?

I don't beleive Car Wash Hair was on album until they rereleased it.

Forever Delayed, Suicide Painless by Manics.

Plus Music is My Radar was on a 'best of' but not a real album....
