Did the Late Show show it with any irony or did they just assume that the reason it had 250,000 hits on Youtube was because it was a really good song?

The original version is better as the camera is mostly trained on the lad, who *is* Alan Partridge.

I love 'mum' too, bopping away like Linda McCartney and keeping a watchful eye behind the Synths.

You can mock kids, but if it was 1980-81, the era of Rene and Renato and Joe Dolce, I am pretty sure this catchy number would be a huge Number one hit. I quite like it for that, it sort denies the 21st century has happened and yet it has become an internet hit. It is, in a sense, incredibly subversive.

to revive the Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club?

Must admit Crystal Swing are a load of fun and mum's a "babe". Just hope they don't go all U2 with concept albums produced by Eno and stadium tours. Keep it real.
