This track I noticed made the top 40 in 2006 but dropped out only to do much better in 2007 the following year and I hear it quite often in a pub I'm in.. seems to be on a replayable playlist or something. What's your thoughts on it. I think it's a great track which I didn't really appreciate too much back then and the video is pretty creative and good too!

looove it, it's a classic

it was very popular back in the day, think cos of the whistling part

originally it was only a low top 40 hit but then got re-released the following year and peaked at #13 I believe

What I'd love to know is how Peter, Bjorn and John supposedly get 4.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

That's a LOT of people going on a mid-2000s nostalgia trip for the only song of theirs anyone cares about.

Most people in the UK know the whistling bit from the Homebase advert that was on TV loads in the late 00s.

That's right yeah. Here's the chart runs in full here (not including any times beyond 2007's where it re-entered the top 100 again)

2006 - 35-53-77-93

2007 - 83-81-84-56-38-33-13-14-13-20-30-42-56-68-100

It also got a D&B rework at the end of 2023 which stays true to the original (not that it can really be messed with). Alfie Templeman sounds great

Features the lovely Victoria Bergsmen, who was the lead singer in The Concretes. They had a few minor UK hits in 2004, the one I remember the most being the short and sweet “You Can't Hurry Love”. I remember buying this on CD single at the time of its initial release in 2006 and the guy behind the counter said 'oh this will be the song of the summer'

then it smashed in at #35 and went no higher.. well until the re-release a year later. It was the same week that I bought “Monster Hospital” by Metric which similarly flopped in at 55. I had the reverse midas touch with buying singles : (
