[@billwhittlingham3807]

Without doubt the greatest ever song about a lettuce.

[@TheAdgester]

Saw them recently… bit sad if the best song is a shitty football one

[@y_ffordd]

@@TheAdgester haha, I keep forgetting that exists, never had that on cd.

[@WhoBetterThanKanyon]

I thought it was about a sugar coated Iceberg 🤔😂

[@cmonthedees1381]

​@@TheAdgester na there best song is pure, not the shitty football song which is actually quite good

You can't stop moving when you listen to this tune an absolute classic

My mum first told me about this song when I was very young. She liked it and told me to listen to it. Reminds me of her every time. Miss you Mum.. xx❤

[@Vision-4546]

Yep went and saw them t a concert yester

[@flokivilgerarson4500]

The 90's were maybe the last decade of great music. I'm a big fan of 70's and 80's rock, but I also loved 90's indie music just as much.

[@cmdfarsight]

Yeah it was all downhill after that. 60s and 80s music is the best though.

[@jameshisted]

I love 90's indie too, but I am hopeful that there will be great music again some day

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

These kind of comments make me sad. As a Gen-Xer myself, I find that there is still and always has been AMAZING music in every decade that I have lived through. You just need to go research things more.

[@adamoneill2566]

My mum loved this band every song they did she listened to made her happy. I'm a fan myself brings tear to my eyes whenever I listen to this song an remembering her

A stunningly talented band. Ian Broudie is gifted and it shows.

No he didn’t. It was written by Broudie and Stephen Jones

LOL I completely agree with the sentiment and I know what I am for saying this but, doing the math, weren't you about 4 when this came out in 1989? OK, I'll see myself out.

[@dalesnail86]

Scouser growing up as a kid in the 90s with these, the Las, cast and space was such an underrated era for liverpool music shaped my life and I write my own stuff now! Such inspiration and Ian Broudie was a part of that

[@philnewton-england7795]

"You were cheap, but I was sold". Fantastic line. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@BruceDanton-br9bw]

I remember hearing this one time in the pub in EastEnders-when Grant Mitchell was there too! Also, the album this came from was given the top five star rating in Q magazine when it came out too-and why not indeed?! Wonderful music-thank you too!

[@BruceDanton-br9bw]

Thank you for the highlight too!

[@Wolfspiderxl]

My fave song of '97, was working security in a desolate place, going through relationship meltdown and this flashed on the nitetime radio, very uplifting.....

[@richardsbooth]

Always makes you feel happy when you're driving with this playing

[@ryanessex7978]

Was 13 when this came out. A happy childhood without knowing what crap would happen in this world in the coming years. Both personally and in this ( at times ) toilet world we inhabit. God bless innocence.

Have you been living under a rock one of the greatest bands throughout the 90s

[@TerrySirius]

This particular song has a wonderful balance of strong melodies. Its one of those pieces I wish I'd have come up with myself, its such a brilliant piece.

An early 90s weekend always seemed to start Friday afternoon with the lightning seeds on TFI Friday ...Great days

Nothing but 90's is an amazing cover band from Norwich! They're on Facebook too :)

Listen to the music of the past and remember how good life actually WAS. Then, with all of your heart, will it to be so again. Don't let them enslave us with their lies!

[@jasontye6812]

OMG! I remember this song when I was a teenager in the 1990s! For some reason I thought I'd play that song when I was waiting for a train at a London tube station. That horn sound played during the chorus sent a massive shiver down my spine! I forgot how awesome how music sounded before the likes of the X Factor took over and started ruining it!

I first heard this as an instrumental on one of Liverpool's local radio stations, it was used as the theme for the sports sections live games commentary, still gives me shivers when I hear it, it became even better when they put the lyrics to it and released it.
