Reaching #18 on the UK singles chart back in July 2001, this has to be one of the strangest Top 20 hits of all-time. It's also one of my favourite and from a fantastic album (they also went Top 20 with "Since I Left You earlier in the year).
The video is what makes this song really - it's utterly random but equally brilliant. See it for yourself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8BWBn26bX0
The initial words are sampled from the film Polyester, and the song contains samples from "Frontier Psychiatrist" written by John Robert Dobson, and embodies a portion of "My Way of Life" written by Bert Kaempfert, Cral Sigman and Herber Rehbein.
