It's amazing how well a Scottish man sums up American suburban culture in under three minutes.

How did they manage to put Judy Blume, Catcher in the Rye and Kerouac in one song? And how did i dare to forget how good Belle and Sebastian is?

my 2nd favourite song of all time; who wouldn't love to give themselves up to its own allure?

Right, what I wanted to put into words before (but wasn't able to due to the sheer amazingness of this song) is: this song is utterly fantastic, and I can't find any other words except BEYOND ACE.

in french "la bourgeoisie" isn't the middle class, but the upper class.

One of my favourite songs of all time. The jauntiness of it. The jangle. When he sings the part And you love like nobody around you How you love, and a halo surrounds you I feel like I can hear him desperately wanting to tell her he loves her. Damn, it makes me swoon. Why am I such a tragic romantic?

wonder why it's on this album & not one of their more famous ones, because it's an amazing tune... kerouac's beckoning with open arms and open fields of eucalyptus, westward bound. that is pure poetry.

The thing is, in french it actually means 'The Apathy of the Middle Class' since 'pastie' is a mistranslation of apathy. But yeah, John McKeown really didn't intend for it to mean anything. Haha.

John McKeown of The Yummy Fur: Me and my sister and Jamie, we lived across from Greggs, (bakery) and we spray-painted that. We wanted to do a Jean-Luc Godard meets '68 slogan, but totally empty, really empty, empty statement. But Stuart must've seen it written on the side of Greggs' wall, and took it or whatever, which I thought was quite nice. so it doesnt really mean anything. amazing song

I think this is my favourite really upbeat track of theirs... being a b*tch to learn the words thoroughly, end up mumbling along 1/2 way through.
