Yeah it`s one of their better videos I must admit as most of them don`t really do their songs justice at all.I`m suddenly compeled to link this video by them though.Mainly because it features an apperance from somebody we all know and love here on tubular forums.

All these years of loving that song and I don`t think I`ve heard that version of it,although I was aware of it.Ok here it is it does stay pretty faithfull to the Dave Edmunds version I guess.The song was wrote by Hank Devito,although I think I`m right in thinking Dave Edmunds was the first guy to put it out on a record.I`ve still yet to hear the Tom Jones version of it though... 
| Quote | | Sweet Harmony" is really nice. And I'm not just saying that because of the naked people |
Oh man that`s just a brilliant "earworm" type song that I`m a real big sucker for I must admit.I read online yesterday that the best known cure for "earworms" is to sing the la la la section of America`s Horse With No Name over and over to yourself until it`s completely purged.Maybe it`s something to do with the naked people,but it does`nt work with that one for me... 
| Quote | | You're the Best Thing"... right on |
Well my favourite Jam song is Precious so I had to go and pick something else did`nt I... The thing is I was never really a big fan of You`re The Best Thing until I got to be best man at a friends wedding about 15 years ago.So anyway the couple in question had this video disc made up for them which was really just a slideshow of images from their respective youths you know.And the soundtrack to it of course was this song by The Style Council(my friend is a big Paul Weller fan)..I was almost in tears watching that thing round at their house one night.And all the while thinking to myself "how the hell did I completely miss the beauty of this song? "..So yeah I kind of stole it from them I guess like the shameless bloody musical magpie I am.
There`s actually a good number of artists listed by other people here that I`m also a big admirer of.People like The Hollies,David Sylvian,Goldfrapp,Pink Floyd,America,Cocteau Twins,just too many names to go into more fully really.I have to say I found it really difficult to whittle it down to 40 songs myself.But anyway a big shout out to OlracUk for listing another New Musik song there,great stuff.So there was four singles released from that New Musik album and we both picked the two that are`nt up on you tube.So guided by the hand of fate and for anyone remotely interested here`s both Living By Numbers and This World Of Water
And would you credit it now that I`ve just done that I`ve also found Sanctuary and Straight Lines  All hail youtube!..A veritable minefield of cheese.
