Its a pretty shit song tbf.
(And I love New Order)
GTFO! It's one of my favourites. Bernard's singing ain't great admittedly, but that's not why I like it. It's the freaking bass, and keyboard, and just the cool changes in the song. It's brilliant. But man... Hooky's bass....

Agreed, it’s a pretty good song and no way deserved to almost win a billy.

It’s pretty odd lyrically but it’s in no way a bad song.

When you look at my last.fm, however, it probably tells a more realistic story. I used to 'scrobble' music when I just listened via iTunes, and now I almost exclusively listen via Spotify (and you can link Spotify to last.fm). So it is a bit more accurate in terms of my music taste OVERALL.

One standout there is Shahrizoda, who are an all-female pop group from Uzbekistan. They don't exist on Spotify :( so I hardly listen to them anymore!

Pretty harsh almost-billy! Yes, the lyrics are odd lol. I used to giggle at the "pleasure zone" part XD
Mum has a DVD of all of New Order's videos, and this was on it and we loved it. It's a rare live version, and sounds better than the recorded single in my opinion. We both had a crush on Bernard, and we thought Stephen and Gillian were funny in the video because they looked so shy! The true introverts of the band.

por_please_ya is a gal like yours truly
You were right about SarahSmiles being a fella or rather lad though :D
Whoopsies, better make that 'cheers folks'

Given the PM we share, I'd be worried if he didn't realise that I was a guy.
Yes, I know your a guy. It just sounds strange saying 'Sarah said he...'. I may have to shorten your name to SS to avoid confusing myself (like that time I did in the BFFCL)

LOL! Yeah, pretty much :p

Bit like RHCP.... brilliant musicianship, Anthony Kiedis's voice leaves much to be desired (however he did get better over time, and I like his voice).
I like Anthony's voice as well.
Any criticism he cops is not truly deserved.

Bernard overreaches at times and crashes badly.
The alternative was Hooky.
Have you heard Hooky sing? Hes not terrible if its within his very very very limited range, outside that... ouch!
Plus he cant sing and play at the same time.
But who cares? Like you said dat bass!
