So, is it me or is 'Prangin' Out' by The Streets - the single version, anyway - which features Mike Skinner barely a jot - the best thing The Streets have done in forever? This is not a coincidence, is it? Are there many other examples of songs on which the titular artist does very little*, to the benefit of the song?

* (Very little of what they are known for, that is.)
