I can’t help but feel this is in response to it being Monday already. There is most definitely an ‘oh my god I can’t believe it’ vibe going on this morning.

Credited to all members of the Kaiser Chiefs, this was song was originally released in 2004, on the Drowned in Sound record label, but only reached number sixty-six in the UK charts due to the band being still unknown in the UK. Their breakthrough came in 2005 after taking part in the NME Award Tour as an opening act, giving them a lot of media attention.

In 2005 the song was re-released, this time on the B-Unique label, ahead of the release of their debut album Employment, and gave the Kaiser Chiefs their first top-ten hit, spending twenty-five weeks on the chart and peaking at number six.
