Does anybody know the story behind this song? Why was it never included on a UK release and put as a bonus track on German edition of "shine"? Its quite hard to find now and a collectable.

Wasn't this just a 'jingle' sort of thing for a German show/car commercial? I didn't think it was a single release ... to me it just looked like a bit of fun.

I dont know myself to be honest as i havent heard of the song, i must have a look around and see if it can be downloaded anywhere.

Here's the clip from youtube Pete. It came about around the same time as the comeback (probably sometime between Patience and Shine). As you can see though ... I'm sure it was only ever a clip for a show or something - it really doesn't sound much more than a jingle to me.

Full song;

 

 

Not too bad but rather cheesy lyrics wise, wouldn't have fitted at all on Beautiful World, very Saturday night variety show theme tune sort of thing...

I've never really liked it ... but I never realised that it was a full, proper song either. As I said ... I always thought it was just a little jingle.

I don't even think it's good enough for a 'c' side to be honest.

 

There is talk of a tour next year - or at least a stint at Manchester City Football Ground ... if I can get tickets easily I'll go ... but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it if I don't.

Its a proper song. I have the actual single. Paid about £15 for it on ebay a few years ago. Its quite rare.
