[meat_is_murder19]

Nice song,lyrics are funny 9 from me

I recall that discussion, I was in the minority then cause I then and now still hear f***ed but then maybe that is just my mucky mind!

I'm 100% devoted to the "f***ed up tony" lyric. That's what I've always heard.

I havent even bothered to burn this to my itunes so I know it's seriously bad.

You are seriously mistaken! It's a charmer from first note to the last.

 

[JoyDiv007]

Never cared much for this song so I'm giving it a 5.

 

[celibate]

a 5

another 'I get you with me lyrics' song, none of them are impressive,
so is this one

1 plus point, it's not on the european/UK albumversion of Kill Uncle

 

[Chad]

You are seriously mistaken! It's a charmer from first note to the last.

I love this song.

 

[nugz]

I really like this song. dont know why its so unpoopular. although i agree that the placement on Kill Uncle is horrible. Its about a 7, id say.

 

[Johan de Witt]

I like the words and the way he sings them ("Just don't say I didn't warn you...") but the music is seriously boring.

the poll speaks for itself.

I didn't give it a high score, but I do see your point: I'm guessing Sweetie Pie and Black Eyed Susan scored higher, and they barely constitute songs.

 

[Well I Wonder]

5/10. Very average​

 

[Zenith Nadir]

I despised this song for years. I'm still not sold on the choice of title, which comes across as 9 parts nursery rhyme, 1 part poetry. But beyond that it's a great piece of music with some clever (somewhat black?) lyrics.

 

[steph]

I gave it an 8. I have always liked this song. I think his vocals are beautiful on this track, and the tune is catchy. It saddens me that he called this one of the worst songs ever recorded in musical history.

 

[Worm]

Played it eleven times a day for the first month after the single was released and haven't listened to it more than eleven times since. I don't know why that is. Anyway, even though my heart says 10, I guess I have to look at the evidence and go with a solid 8.
