Second attempt... Yup, this song ended Indie music - it was the perfect culmination of nearly 20 years of alternative creativity. So many components of it hit the button and the hilariously unintelligible chorus remains the antithesis of contemporary 'pretty pop' banality like the X-factor. I'd love to see one of Cowell's goons try and cover this! An utter gem. Vote for it if you know yer onions.
