I highly suspect the only reason I like Come on Eileen is Spaced related.

It’s fine. Thought it was fine when it came out and it’s stood the test of time.

It’s effectively Sweet Caroline / Amarillo / Dancing Queen isn’t it? Every wedding party’s nod to ‘indie’.

I might mumble along to it whilst staring longingly into my pint, but I certainly wouldn’t dance to it. But then I wouldn’t dance to anything. Dancing and I make uncomfortable bedfellows.

I reckon in a wedding party’s “indie” section, at least 75% of time it is played back to back with Sex on Fire

Knowing how long you’d spend on a playlist it would be incredible bants to sneak it in tbf

I’m taking the whole party with me and we’re going back to my house to listen to Outkast and Kanye West while drinking bags and bags of cans of Tesco own brand lager.

Can imagine the whole party just waiting for it to come on to see me throw a strop.I

When I get married, there will be 60 minutes of 90s top 40 dance. Baby D, Nightcrawlers, Strike, Paul van Dyk.

Is it going to replace one of the wedding “rock” trifecta of Living on a Prayer - Summer of 69 - Sweet Child of Mine? My money’s on G’n’R getting the elbow if so.

I’m having just this on repeat

Mate. Kaiser Chiefs!? Surely even the most paid up nme mid-00s landfill indie fan accepts that they were comfortably the worst thing about that era?

The worst thing about that era?! Jesus, no - the worst thing about that era is comfortably Razorlight.

But oh no, you’re not baiting me into defending fucking Kaiser Chiefs. At least listening to their shit might be at best vapidly arresting. Good luck washing your ears out after listening to the last three fucking Kasabian albums in a roofless house.
