[@PatrickBatemanUK]

Superb. Thanks for sharing.

[@japanesexxx]

You have also a strong point ! The composer and singer is Neil Hannon I think.

[@RiverPoet81]

[@VerminRacoonMan]

awwhhh memories:)

[@cholmis58]

really good english pop music

[@written12]

It's a great touch, isn't it?

[@SirHatchporch]

"Lascivious nonsense!" LOL

[@lyndseykramer]

Something for the weekend. Some Catholic angst perhaps? Love this.

[@written12]

I see your point. I was going on the section where he says he's pretending, where something in his jeans prevents him from coming clean. But also, the phrase "something for the weekend" sounds like a guy rationalizing cheating on his wife- or girlfriend. But looking over the lyrics, I do see your point. You might very well be right. I guess somebody out there will have to hunt down Stephen's - God,I forgot his last name- intended meaning.

1:03 i fainted. from happiness.

[@nscsc]

does anyone know the full name of the backing vocalist! i need to know :P and im going to push my luck anyone know her number ;). Brilliant song by DC as always.

[@sayport2]

a very english group,love this song,it seem to me this group never did well here-us,any thoughts?

[@DrMaiXiang]

Northern Irish.

[@MrTaffylad]

who is the backing singer, hot or what!!!

[@lukewelburn5319]

Catherine Turner

[@EclectikTronik]

lyrically a reference to 'cold comfort farm'

[@skitster]

Did Neil Hammond do the whole gig for a crack at that backing singer? I would have done...

[@2walsall]

neil hannon is great

[@davimurph]

@lyndseykramer His Father is an Anglican bishop, so it's probably not CATHOLIC angst.

[@davebest2001]

Noel Coward and Burt Bacharach rolled into one

[@BenLawrenceWriter]

the late Benjamin Lo-Fi was in the audience for this, and grinning so much that he strained his jaw permanently, and can now do nothing but grin, which wasn't appreciated at his step-uncle's funeral shortly after the gig...but he wouldn't have changed a thing...would you?

[@Meimi132]

You know the Father Ted theme song? *points to DC*

[@davidalanshelton3781]

Genius ? He wrote the music for Father Ted,THATS genius.

[@SimonB198207]

ok, the story of this song - as far as i can work it out - bloke has his mistress hiding in the wood shed (his wife cam,e home early), his wife twigs, forces him to go and calm her concerns that there's 'something in there'. he goes in, gets whacked - his wife had been having it away with the same woman, has planned this scenario all along, she and her girl lover robs the guy and leaves him 'gagged and bound...' and go off with 'his car and all his money'... something like that.

[@955nsim]

@tomsega And your point is??

[@thedrunkenfool]

2:24 what a pair of toilets in the audience, ha ha ha

[@written12]

Thanks for that fact. So, in other words, the song could be just about some guy trying to make some woman- a casual fling, a tryst- and not some guy cheating on his wife. At the same time, there are a bunch of lines in the song in which the guy's trying to convince himself there's nothing wrong with what he's doing. That is, he is straying but it's excusable. Anyway, a great song.

[@alanscott6836]

Ain't may guys write songs with a sensahumour..... Neil Hannon.....Warren Zevon.....help me....

[@lingley]

hmmm

[@japanesexxx]

There is no reference for adultery. No reference for the marital status of the victim as far as I could understand.

[@written12]

Yikes! I've got to give you top grade for cleverness, but I think - at least the lyric seems to read this way- that his little something for the weekend turns out to be after his money and his car. His sin, his journey into adultery gets put to a quick end.

[@thedrunkenfool]

2:28 what a toilet

[@tomsega]

This is all very middle class.

[@NoAngryYoungMan]
