Notes
"Erica could be the girl from Welcome To The Dollhouse, or Peppermint Patty, spending summer holidays in Nowheretown. Only has a transistor radio for company to inspire dreams of escape from small town atrophy. Sound of Drums." (Saint Etienne April 1998)

"I love singing it live - it's got such an uplifting chorus, I would sort of lose myself in it. The first words in it are "hair in curls" but a few people thought it was 'Aryan curls' - why would they think that? That always made me laugh." (Sarah Cracknell 2010)

"The ever-useful rhyming dictionary! Very cartoony Americana - not really Rattle & Hum, is it?" (Bob Stanley 2010)

"Tore played us this Barbara Lewis track and said, "Why don't we go psycho on the percusiion like this?" which hadn't occured to us - it sounds great." (Pete Wiggs 2010)
