HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I remember a LOOOONG time ago on ILM, Tom started a thread that was basically "Convince me I was wrong" where people dare others to listen to songs or artists they had stated in the past disliking.

So I uploaded The Wonder Stuff's "Who Wants To Be The Disco King?"

Tom listened, and wow, I had to back away from the bile! I never knew until that point how fearsome Tom could be!

This is the only Wonder Stuff song I still occasionally listen to, and the CD-single is the only Wonder Stuff item I still possess... I don't share the sentiments expressed in the song at all, however being that it's the Stuffies' most danceable song (imho), I enjoy the irony. I love the rolling tambourine during the chorus. (The B-sides are also XLNT.)

Then again, I think the U.S. was more friendly to the Stuff than the UK ever were, despite the huge UK press they got. (or am I wrong?)
