There's a Seat Toledo private hire I see regularly about the place. When I am waiting behind it I have to sing...

@dougal, quite a hard thing to sing a Blue Nile song as such. Obviously, their first two albums are all killer no filler. Even the one where he gets up on the horse on the cover is good. I also like his solo album Mid-Air. The guitar picking on this one is new to me.
What Paul does is sing a bit on his own so you can hear the words. Then you get the synthesisers separately. I like this. See also Willie Nelson singing behind the beat and BB King singing, then playing his geetar Lucille (1 thru 50) only Lucille 1 saved from the fire, the rest free from Gibson.
I find with your modern beat combo you cannot hear the words properly. Now the tune is important but I tend to dance to the words. I say dance, but it is more what we call Danding. Like dancing but not quite dancing. Used to be able to get whole rooms copying me.
Update - managed to play half of hats before Mrs Garto asked for it to be put off for being too miserable. She did come and see them with me at The Usher Hall many moons ago which was good once his voice warmed up.
