Great 90's Alt track from this Chicago band

An upbeat banger about the death of a dog, I believe.

(I never realised how incredible this was at the time, it was everywhere, and I hated it, but have softened since. Such a retro throwback combining fillet cuts from so many areas)

Always loved this.

Beautiful song, about something very seedy.

I think this is the greatest Pet Shop Boys single ever. Ergo, one of the greatest pop singles of all time.

Seedy? Yes. But also fantastically romantic. I love you; You pay my rent: Love as a monetary transaction, the logical conclusion of Thatcherism. Yet, the true wonder of the song lies in the possibility of something more elevating. As there is no "because" between the central couplet's two sentences, there is still a glimmer of hope for true love, even if it is wedged between the lines, a mere crack in the wall of superficial artifice. In this relationship, as our lovers couple, "words mean so little and money less". Perhaps, just perhaps, there is one currency - that of love - that might not be traded at the stock exchange.

It was Electronic - Marr's band with Bernard Sumner. Neil Tennant did guest vocals.

And here they were last year...
