Is it just me or does this song have a distinctly British sound to it. But I can't put my finger on it. I know they're a British group, but there's just something particularly British about the tune.
And the dude with the umbrella that starts out rigid/posh then gradually gets more enthusiastic(spinning like a psycho by the end) is funny as fuck.

I'm at work, so I can't listen to it. But I recognise the name and the song title. They are a British group. This song isn't that new either - it must be a good 5 or 10 years old now I'd have thought...
It's also one of those songs that if you hear it on the radio on the way into work its rattles around in your head for most of your day until you gouge it out with a blunt spoon. (Or that may just have been me)

I think you can imagine it being played at a very depressing office Christmas party where everyone is wearing paper hats and making awkward small talk and trying to pretend like they didn't wish they were dead, and that is what makes it feel uniquely British.

It's the sort of song that would have fit comfortably on the Love Actually soundtrack.
