I'm a mobile DJ and to be honest I think most people are fed up to the back teeth with R&B, and hip hop dominating the charts. It must tell the record companies something when a 30+ year old good time singalong record is popular enough to be at Number one for 7 weeks.

i went to manchester in december and it was well popular in the clubs down there

[kick3m0n]

as far as I'm concerned, it's always been cool.  One of those cheesy, sing-along songs that everyone knows.  I was delighted when it was part of Phoenix Nights and so was heard by a new audience.

Like Mortatube I am a mobile DJ too, and I'm inclined to agree with him. I would like to add that I played the tune last autumn before it was popularised by Comic Relief and I was met by looks of dismay (I like to take risks in what I do). It clearly appeals more to your general football fans type crowd rather than your posh upper class, they don't seem to get it.
