Obscure Britpop/boyband Catch had this tepid hit in the halcyon days of 1997. I liked it.

Vic Reeves & the Wonder Stuff with their bizarre 1991 hit Dizzy. The video for this, which I had recorded off TV on a VHS and therefore saw many times, was something else.

Manchester band James with their 1991 hit Sit Down.

Why not - here's the original 1989 version of Sit Down by James.

Something that a lot of people don't know is that I have a particular love for piano solos in the middle of rock songs. Here are my favourites:

James - Sit Down (original version)
Thunderclap Newman - Something in the Air
The Sounds - Painted By Numbers
B. Bumble & the Stingers - Nut Rocker
