Songfacts:  You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.

This is the song that lifted The Dandy Warhols from underground to mainstream, as it was used in a Vodafone advertising campaign. Since then, it is also referred to as "The Vodafone Song," particularly in downloading communities. (thanks, rachel - London, England)

This is the theme music for the BBC Radio Five sports phone-in show 6-0-6.

One of the best songs to hear them play live. They put so much energy into it.

Frank, YES!!!! I just listened to all the songs people think it sounds like, Little Bitch, sounds closest to me! ps. awesome song!! :D

I kind of agree with Jani. I've always interpreted this song as being about going through the motions of dating- "I really love your hairdo","You've got a great car"- the usual compliments when you flirt. "Well come over to my work,I'll have them cook you something that you'll really love"- that to me is the beginning of dating. "Wait, Who's that guy, Just hanging at your pad." Jealousy. "And I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you"- The constant reasuring that you like the person. Just my thoughts, lol.

The opening riff is more like "One hit to the Body" by the Stones. It can be found on the Dirty Work CD.

To Stones Snobs like myself, the opening is obviously more like "One hit to the Body" by the Stones on their Dirty Work release.

Jani from NZ- I can see what you mean about this song sounding similar to the Rollings Stones' "Brown Sugar", but actually I thought the very opening sounds similar to the beginning of their "Jumping Jack Flash".

One of at least three Dandy tracks used in commercial advertising, the most recent I've heard being used "Godless"... from Thirteen tales as well.

Unreal song. catchy. great video. naked kareoke orgy
- Paul , Galway, Ireland

I thought the opening riff sounds like The Rolling Stones's "Brown Sugar". To me this song is really sarcastic and cynical - I used to know some 'Bohemian' types at university, and they did act/speak like this. The line "I'm getting wise..." says to me that this guy is faking his lifestyle to get what he wants, ie the girl.

Just curious but, has anyone else noticed the beginning guitar riff sounds a lot like the opening riff on The Specials' "Little Bitch"?
