Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Vincent Average	#1 by Vincent Côté at Nov 12, 1972 at 5:55 AM EST
	I thought this song was a sort of parody or counterpart to the Blur song with the words "in the country" (I can't remember what it's called). The rythms are quite similar and it's as if Craig is describing the life of someone on the opposite end of the scale from the rich guy in the Blur song.

No Picture Oliver Average	#2 by Oliver Russ at Aug 5, 1980 at 10:38 PM EST
	sounds like the specials its cool

No Picture Cody Rhythm Player	#3 by Cody Mosca at Apr 3, 1988 at 2:14 PM EST
	I completely agree its very very strongly influenced by Beatles Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, just go listen to Factory by the vines then Ob-la-di by the Beatles. Im not kiddin,its eerie.

No Picture albrecht Wanna Be	#4 by albrecht cherlet at Apr 2, 1991 at 1:45 AM EST
	OK, this song is referring to when Craig Nicholls, the lead singer, was working at McDonald's. The lyrics explain it all. I know it's already been mentioned, but it is so ironic how the music is like really happy and upbeat sounding but the lyrics are totally opposite.
