Gym Class Heroes= proper good although the question of why they are releasing things from their old album, having just released 'As Cruel As Schoolchildren' here still stands...

Matt Willis= sympathy vote. Also, it is very good when he does it live, from Youtube clips anyway.

Roger Hodgson would be turning in his grave, if he was dead

Not heard any of these yet, but a v. v. brief clip I heard of the Gym Class Heroes suggested this is partially a cover of "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp!!!

Is nothing sacred??!? *mutters under breath for several minutes*

I blame Scooter obv.

Which one? There appear to be two. In one, the singer has a psycho-robot GF and the other he has a succession of GFs.

Actually, now I've heard this a couple of times, I'll admit this isn't bad. But not quite "any good at all".

Gym Class Heroes song has been a huge hit in America for a couple months now, so maybe they just wanted to capitalize. I like the song. Ticky tick.

Also, if memory serves, I gave Gym Class Heroes a really low score on the Stylus Jukebox but I have changed my mind!

But the Gym Class Heroes' second album was out before this song (from their first) hit, so I'm not sure what's going on, or if the song has been added to the second album, or what.
