@@matthieusix3201 Um... This song is from somewhere between 1988 and 1990, depending on the source. A quick google search will bring that up. It's hard to tell on the live version, but there's also more modern characteristics to this song as well. Mike Badger, who started the La's, was born in 1962 as well, so it's impossible for this song to have been from the 60's.
