Contents 1 Background 2 Video 3 Notable cover versions 4 Parodies 5 UK track listings 6 References Background According to Alex Kapranos, the song is based on the singer playing truant from his days at the University of Aberdeen. This was stated by Alex Kapranos during the Aberdeen leg of their tour "You Could Have It So Much Better".[citation needed] Video The video features the band dressed as schoolboys, dancing in an automatic, almost possessed, fashion and miming along to the main vocal track. It was inspired by Dennis Potter's television play Blue Remembered Hills (1979), which features adults playing children, and the lip-sync device Potter used in his 'serials with songs' Pennies from Heaven (1978) and The Singing Detective (1986). The finale of the video also takes several visual cues from the "Dry Bones" sequence in Singing Detective. Notable cover versions A Latin version of the song was featured on the Rhythms del Mundo album by the Buena Vista Social Club. Parodies One routine in Harry Hill's 2005 'Hooves' tour involved the comedian and a ventriloquist puppet ("Gary, the son from my first marriage") performing a dance routine to the song in reference to the video.
