Going down pretty

When The Beautiful South released this song, they had to go with a cleaner version than the explicit album one in order to get airplay on the radio, as well as for the video. Here is the video (made for the clean version) overlaid with the original album version. Also, and as pointed out in the comments, the use of 'Sandra Bullock' for 'sweaty bollocks' is the best lyric switcheroo ever.

I'm especially fond of the music for the chorus (the part that references San Francisco)--such a nice little uplifting beat.

Don't Marry Her - The Beautiful South



Here is another favorite song by them (should be obvious that Jaqcui Abbott was my preferred leading lady of the various line ups they've had over the years.) Interestingly, for this song, I dig the music for the verses much more than the chorus.
