100 reasons why "Chelsea Dagger" is the worst fucking song ever

oh that'd be nice.

Wouldn't it though?

Vampire Weekend are like the charm school Fratellis. There, I said it.

they wear blazers right? fuck em.

Much better produced.

Better rhythm section.

The Fratellis have confirmed they’ve split up after singer John Lawler posted a note on the band’s website.

"We have no plans to work together right now", he said.
He posted his comment on at exactly the same time as bandmate Barry spoke of his past successes with the trio.

Lawler continued "Sometimes things just work out that way. Mince, Baz and I are working on music but not with each other.

"Your passion is appreciated more than we will ever be able to say. We'll forever give our hearts and souls to music and to you guys who want to hear what we do."

Lawler is currently busying himself with Codeine Velvet Club while drummer Mince is playing with metal band Throne o’Diablo.

Fans paid tribute to the trio on their website with one posting "You guys changed my life. Thank you for the wonderful music, memories and everything else."

Many hits, all forgotten but one..

Friends of my ex played in a band with the drummer prior to The Fratellis and claimed he stole the riff for Creeping Up The Backstairs from one of their own dismal songs, which they continued to include in their set. Apparently it was a really sore subject for them.

LOL

1. "Halloween Blues"
2. "This Old Ghost Town"
3. "She's Not Gone Yet But She's Leaving"
4. "Seven Nights, Seven Days"
5. "Shotgun Shoes"
6. "Whisky Saga"
7. "This Is Not the End of the World"
8. "Jeannie Nitro"
9. "We Need Medicine"
10. "Rock 'n' Roll Will Break Your Heart"
11. "Until She Saves My Soul"

"Chelsea Dagger" has also been played over stadium sound systems before and after many football matches, and has frequently been played at other sporting events as well. League One side Yeovil Town play the song after a goal is scored at their stadium Huish Park. Since moving to the Juventus Stadium in 2011, Italian Serie A side Juventus F.C. does the same, as does Scottish First Division outfit Raith Rovers. English Championship side Nottingham Forest, who have reluctantly used it for quite sometime as many fans are opposed to the banal moronitude of the track, as well as Perth Glory in the Australian Hyundai A-League.

really transfixed by the Area Band mediocrity inherent to their song-titling approach

Little is known about Lawler's life before he joined the Fratellis. He attended St. Maurice's High School and went to college before dropping out within three hours. Before joining the Fratellis, he played in an Oasis and Blur cover band.

Oasis AND Blur? Fucking hell. Who is this crazy deviant.

Mencap i wd "finest" yr display name but i'm not dealing with 200 posts from outraged Americans

all part of the ongoing quest to find a joke with the smallest possible theoretical audience

big fan of twin cover bands and the bet-hedging therein - there's an Abba/Carpenters one that I see listings for quite often
