Ah the Neds, one of the leading lights in the late-80s/early-90s indie rock scene, all razor sharp guitar chords, indie shuffle dance beats and sixth-form poetry lyric rhymes. This single came towards the end of their heyday and indeed was their second top 20 hit. The A-side is undeniably a great pop record just maybe a bit forgettable.
As for the B-sides i quite like "Scrawl" which is a decent bit of indie thrash with lots of jingle-jangle.
Have you heard this 8-bit cover of The Primitives 'Crash'. I think it works though I don't think I could listen to it many times on repeat without seeing sprites for the next hour.

Could be the soundtrack to a Spectrum game based around the antics of an 80s indie pop band.
