If you want to go out,
If you want to go out,
Read it in the papers,
Tell me what it's all about!

@TheKevand

This must be the greatest Beatles song that the Beatles didn't write. Masterpiece

@user-pi8ju7om5i

Beatles sound, haircuts, a couple look like a younger Sir Paul and even the video is a similar vibe to the Beatles promo films from 1966/67.

@TheIkaraCult

its a great song on its own terms.
But the fact you compare it to the Beatles is a nice thing, so thankyou on behalf of everyone.

@rainflowers1099

This encapsulates that era in British music perfectly, great melodies, upbeat confidence, a nostalgia for the 60s. Great track.

@zobazoba69

Supergrass did their own thing... This is why their music is timeless.

@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet

sadly, you can say it this way too: this is why their music is forgotten.

@AlfaGiuliaQV

@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet Not by us, the fans. I bought the album in ´97 by chance and immediately loved them.

@kimgrant3879

@@AlfaGiuliaQV always be a fan they are awesome xxxxx

@anthonymulroy5149

Gaz is the reason I grew, I still have side burns! Saw Supergrass playing back in the day, and Gaz play solo in 2015.Will always be one of favourite bands!

@RatelHBadger

Very Beatles vibe though, in sounds and the video. So yeah they did their own thing by giving homage to some of the greatest 60's tunes.
