I've just seen it popping on youtube, you're absolutely right, it's glorious! I love this song, it's really very good.
It also has a very strong n°1 hit potential, methinks :)

I like this song, those opening guitar chords could be early Beatles

I would say... the song title is perfect ...
nomen est omen

and the production is very good though, I must admit!

Could this be the new show closer to replace 'All That' ?

Can picture Russel conducting the crowd to join in with the chorus

If we get 'Goofing Off' and 'MTYCDT' it's going to be one hell of a concert

I've played a few St. Patrick's Day gigs over the years, so am hardly in a position to do so, Henry I don't hear Celtic folk in this, but am greatly enjoying the track.

When I first heard this last night, this is what immediately came to mind, and I can't shake it. Sorry for the irreverence.

It’s interesting how people hear music differently! I’m seriously not hearing any similarity at all from a couple of chords. But “dtmow” morphs to me into Alexanders Ragtime Band, because I pick up first on rhythm.
