They're getting everywhere, these 'Monkeys. This, their debut for Domino Records, is the song which brought the Sheffield four-piece to Radio 1's attention back at the turn of the year. Since then, every Tom, Dick and Jonze has jumped on the bandwagon (not to mention picked up the handbook).

In many ways, it's an odd choice; the band themselves have said they dislike the track and it's not an obvious commercial smash. Still, at this moment in time they could probably release throwaway B-side instrumental Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick and trouble the upper echelons of the charts.

I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor might not be one their best, but with raucous lead guitar, a beer-friendly singalong chorus and more energy than a lorryload of Duracell, it sure beats listening to James Blunt.

I think...

its one of their best songs. Apart from mardy bum, bigger boys... or a certain romance.

nope

"Ritz to Rubble" and "Sun Goes Down" are better I reckon

Hmm

I think that this song was by far their weekest demo track. The single version is quite good, though.

Mardy Bum, Fake Tales, Ritz to Rubble, Scummy (Sun goes down), A Certain Romance, Bigger Boys, and Cigarette Smoke are all much better songs.

Wow. These guys are gonna be amazing!

i prefer....

the demo version. It sounds more raw. 'Riyz to the rubble' is pretty damn good as well.

Younguns...

...sounding tired and stale, like they were born 40 years ago. What's the fucking point?
