Finally i found it after many years... Chi è qui tramite Deejay TV??

A very "successLESS" song, maybe successful in an alternative dance or local british niche....


BUT!

An illuminated responsible of the heavy rotation of a satellite italian TV called Deejay TV (The tv of Radio Deejay) was mysteriously obsessed by this song so that explains the regularity of this song's broadcasting in the summer of 2003 <3 . He must have been very illuminated because was also obsessed by Empires by Lamya, Placebo. Not only harrell Williams and Snoop Dogg ("Beautiful was also very "rotated" in the music televisions)

However i love british music ... punk, new wave, synth pop, new romantic, madchaster, 1990s vocal groups, britpop, early 2000s alternative pop/rock and garage rock, the british forms of house/club music etc

It's an anthem for anyone who has split up with a shouty missus.

@moonryder

I remember buying this on CD single the day it came out from HMV. I was convinced it would go to number one. It never did.

@MarbleToMoon

Nice one - found it at last. Been a long time since I saw this video. Reminds me a bit of Fat Les doing Vindaloo.

@viddemans

The end is sublime!

@baorozzo

Still here in 2022!
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, BABY?
WHY DON’T YOU LISTEN TO ME?
