OK I just youtubed it!

i) I have never heard this song before!
ii) The tune of the chorus seems a touch familiar, in the sense that...something I know must have ripped it off
iii) I like it better than this - love the violin all the way through, the chorus is good
iv) But still hate his voice
v) wtf are they wearing in the video. Dungarees??!!! Jaysus.

I really don't think I have! It's just a bit of the tune which rings a bell, and nothing else about the song (lyrics/arrangement/voices/structure) is familiar...I think even if I'd just heard it in the background the too-ra-loo bit would have stuck.

you've surely danced to it at poptimism! however since it is usually played toward the end of the night you may have been RIDICULOUSLY DRUNK at the time, and so you may be forgiven yr amnesia.

i heard different parts of the song at different times over the years (including chorus during time-life compilation tv commercials!) so i was convinced i had never actually heard the whole thing, until finally i heard it on the radio once (even AFTER having heard all of 'don't stand me down') and realized that the song had like 10 different parts and they were all the same song!
