I find it interesting that you call Homemade Polysynth and I'm Self Employed great but Where's My Girlfriend mediocre because I always kind of lumped those tracks together as being thematically similar along with klopjob and Crying in Your Face. They all have a very plaintive, reflective, personal feel to them with strong melodies. Kind of like robots singing away their troubles.
If I were to make a "Plaintive Lords" collection they would all be there.
LOL, I too think that all those three have the same vibe and could be lumped together (nicked your phrase here) but yet for some odd reason I don't find WYG as good as the two other ones. I don't hate it but it just doesn't click. Then again I didn't like I'm Self Employed when I first heard it but I love it now. I guess though that I won't ever fully get Where's your girlfriend since I've listened to it as many times as the other tracks and it still doesn't make any wonders.
Dude, listen to Where's Your Girlfriend (Another Version) followed up straight away by the original version.
B-b-b-but what if I still didn't love it and it turns out that I'm not a real fanboy. You know my whole life being over and that shit
