  • Rob B from UkIt's Hel and not Bel. Helen is a name and here in the UK we call it Hel for short.
    Jules in the background:]
    This song was in my head, now it's in my mind
    Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing
    Though I realize, I cannot emphasize
    I'll stick around, but just a promise, nothing binding
    However can't you see, that you're so desperately
    A standing joker like a vocal one-liner
    Instead of sing-along, this song is monotone
    I gotta get some soul, gotta get some feeling....
  • Johnny Anon from UkThanks for including the backing lyrics because I'm a weirdo and like singing them
  • Charlotte Reid from Omagh I love this song because I used to dance to this song I was younger
  • Demetrios "meter" Pappas from Atlanta , GaIt's Hell, not Bell...clearly the video shows that...
  • Megan from Stevenson, AlIt's so catchy and it's really fun to sing with buddies! :)
  • Mike from Matawan, NjYa know what? I'd STILL take this anyday over "Inna Gadda Da Vida". It's catchy. Like typhus.
  • Teddy from Atlanta, GaPerhaps the worst song to chart since Crank That by Soulja Boy. Weeping for the state of popular music.
  • Pal from Los Angeles, CaHere is what Jules sings. I love this part of the song. In the last round, instead of "Oh baby", he says something I cannot make out, but it sounds like a name.

    This lick was in my head, now it's in my mind, call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing.
    And though I realize, I cannot emphasize, I'll stick around but just don't promise, nothing binding.
    Oh baby can't you see, that you're so desperately, a standing joker, like a vocal one liner.
    Instead of sing-along, this song is monotone, I gotta get some soul, I gotta get some feeling.

  • Summer from Murfreesboro, TnWhat's the guy in the background singing during the chorus the second or third time around?
  • Camille from Toronto, OhSaw & heard this pair today, New Year's 2009 on NBC. They were at New York's Time Square singing this song later after the ball dropped. Their performance was electric. Katie White looked red-hot & her sound captured the intense, hectic enjoyment of ringing in the new year. Let their star rise this year, they got the talent & polish to shine.
  • Luke from Manchester, EnglandI'll take a lot of Manc bands over Cast and the Las's thanks very much... Having said that, these are crap... "you really are that forgettable unless you put your stamp on something" Really? Try telling that to the hundreds of rock bands out there playing good talented music day in, day out with no major label and loads of success...
  • Dave from Liverpool, United KingdomMore bollocks from manchester and we're supposed to be excited by it?

    Nah.........
  • Louise from Newcastle, United KingdomLove this song. The instrumental track was used on a Radio One ad.
