Wow – that’s something I never knew before, and you’ve mentioned a 00s C4 drama I used to find myself occasionally watching for no good reason – and of course, mainly for the awkward, hangdog misadventures of the character Sooz.

He did a musical of it about a year later that was on at Hammersmith Apollo for all of that December, Matt Willis and Harry Judd were in it as well I think? McFly played themselves and play their hits and some other songs, but in the film they’re reimagined as a struggling band managed by Pine and playing above an American bowling alley, or something like that.They are a bunch of chancers, looking for a quick way to get rich and sad to say, they have found it. i think they released this first to show everyone that they didn't think they were punk or rock, but purely pop, which they were ok with , and i think that's cool, this is probably the most "pop" cd i have, but if they had pretended to be punk or whatever i never would have bought it. That could be considered timely, given that the year afterwards a review of the film Elizabethtown will coin the phrase “Manic Pixie Dream Girl”.

I remember at the time they were heavily pushed by Busted in magazines, opening for them on tour and televison shows, seemingly long and frequently before this release.I’ll be honest here when I say that I think why we will end up discussing McFly a lot more than we do Busted is simply because they had more heart to them.

I sort of see the point, though, in that the video rather irritates me with the fact that it's a tie-in, but not a direct TV Theme. The gap between McFly and, say, Kaiser Chiefs is social more than it is musical: different fans, different lyrical priorities, but a similar commitment to bouncy guitar pop like the stuff your mum danced to. Good tune, but their UK success didn’t last – they only mustered up one more top 40 single and were unceremoniously bottled off at Reading later that summer, in the grand tradition.As for "She couldn't take the fame, she said I was to blame" and "I threw a house party and she came" I think that was a referance to him introducing her to his mates, and they were the ones pressuring her.
