There was definitely a summer of love in 96, brit pop was massive and everyone, literally EVERYONE was singing. There was music everywhere, class music, it was pretty fucking special!! I hope I get to experience it at least one more time before my days are done!!
the tippermost, toppermost....only ian broudie could come up with a lyric like this and make it sound so freaking cool. I actually prefer the rockier tone of the single version than the dizzy heights one - the single was released over a year before the album came out and in my view they over-cooked the production when they re-worked it for dizzy. Perfectly crafted for sure, but this version was fine, they should have kept it for the album! :-)
Such positive, joyful music! I had a cassette of "Cloudcuckooland" back in the day and mistakenly lent it, along with a number of other Alt Rock tapes. Needless to say, I never got the tapes back. ("Neither a borrower or lender be..,") I just ordered the "Like You Do" box set from Amazon, but couldn't wait to listen to it. Really, really makes me happy to listen to it again (finally).
Never been into Britpop/Britrock or Indie but this song is incredibly outstanding complete with such an epic supercharged optimism to it. Indeed a field day of some of the catchiest hooks and guitar melodies ever and ultimately a trip right back to the 90's.
You know I can’t stay home 🏡 With all this time to kill You know I can’t sit still tonight I’ve gotta make some noise I’m jumping up & down I’ve got to get out now I want to shout out loud Oh you make me feel alright It’s like the tippermost, toppermost high Oh it’s you, you do Crack up your face and give us a smile 😊 Because tonight I just want to go wild I’ve got a million thoughts 💭 and when I’ve thought 💭 them all I’ll find a million more tonight And when I’m feeling sad 😞 I know it’s such a drag And then I get so mad 😠 And then I feel so bad Oh you make me feel alright It’s like the tippermost, toppermost high Oh it’s you, you do Ready or not Here we go till we drop Don’t be square Fix your face and grow your hair Oh you make me feel alright It’s like the tippermost, toppermost high Cause it’s you, you, you Ready or not Here we go till we drop Don’t be square Fix your face and grow your hair Here, now, anywhere

While still good - I WAY prefer the album version of the song. Not so keen on this version. The album one is pretty much the perfect pop song. Love it!
