First thought
I just had a listen to some of the songs I downloaded and I came accross this one. Couldn't remember why I dl'd it but I though it may have had something to do with Moley.
I'm not sure I would have the guts to play it but I could imagine it working for a group of drunks

Over the last few months I've been hearing this with increased regularity, usually late night on Radio 2 with Mark Radcliffe. However, it is now record of the week on Jo Wiley's morning show on Radio 1 - destined for chart success, they're touring the UK this month.
I think we've found ourselves a new end of night song gents!

When Brian first spoke to us about this song, I thought it was great.......
Loved the Vid, and played loud a great song for those at the end of a good night with a few jars inside them....
Anyhow, played it to a few friends of mine and they looked at me, and said yeah right...... What the **** is that.....!!
I assumed by this they meant that they didn't like it... I was a bit shocked at their response, but still thought it a good tune....
Anyhow.... Last week I got an email from one of those friends... He had been sitting at work listening to R1 when it came on.. He told me that he had started laughing out loud, and that his work colleagues had asked him why he was laughing... To cut a long story short, they loved it and started asking me for the song / link!!!!
Think we are defo on a winner with this one....
Splosh.
Oh yea, and I still think he looks a bit like Joe Dolce.

I defy anyone to not dance like that guy who sang "If I were a rich man" when singing this song!

Been speaking to a few contacts that I have, but no one seems to know if and when it is going to be released as a single!!!
I have been told that there is an album floating around somewhere, but again, who knows when to be released...
I did have a search for the song and did come up with another slower version of the video........ Not so good....
anyone got any inside info??

This was released a few weeks ago as a single but did nothing in the charts, I know it was released and I have seen it in both hmv and virgin stores.

But if you were dead keen on buying the album

OK here goes then, pronunciation guide:
ST - as in Stutter
ART - as in Fart
WEAR - as in "I can't find it"
RING - as in What a pig has in his nose and a guy has when married (same principle)
PUR - as in the sound you hear when stroking pussy
PLE - as in what all the drunks try when you play the last record
Hope that helps
