This groovy, organ-fuelled single by The Clint Boon Experience was released 20 years ago back in November 1998, reaching number 78 in the UK charts. As well as being an effortlessly cool, highly infectious track, it also taught me some clever anagrams. The band was formed by Inspiral Carpets keyboard icon Clint Boon after they originally broke up in the mid 90s. Am I the only one who actually loves this song more than any track by his more famous band?
The group released two albums, both featuring vocals from Alfie Boe, who would go on to become a hugely successful opera star. Another vocalist who would guest on the band's live cover of The Stooges' 'I Wanna Be Your Dog', was none other than the late, great Mark E. Smith. Since the reformation of the Inspirals, nothing more has been heard from the Clint Boon Experience, and Boon can now be found hosting the drivetime slot on XS Manchester.
