classic, i think, having heard it again today for the first time since it was a hit. does he say, "don't talk to me about heroes, most of these men seem like Serbs"? it doesn't really go anywhere, thank god. but it's got 2 fantastic lyrical hooks in "who's got the biggest, who's got the biggest, who's got the biggest braiiiiiin!" and of course the jesus/batman/black man/ Bruce Wayne thing.

I think it is 'serfs', Fritz, but I do prefer 'Serbs'.

thanks! now i'm listening to "in the name of the father" and it's even better!

Google seems to think it's 'subs', which makes more sense. Oh well, whatever.

Ha - some people seem to think it's 'most of these men sing like Suggs', which is surely the best solution of all.

Classic in a three-way tie with "Reverend Black Grape" and "In the Name of the Father".

It is a shame that 'Reverend Black Grape' didn't make it to the 90s poll nominations, but lots of things are a shame.

I once met someone who didn't like 'Reverend Black Grape'. I forget who it was.

what a moron.

"sink like subs", not seem. despite being a single, this is easily one of the weakest tracks on the whole album. A Big Day In The North! Yeah Yeah Brother! LITTLE BOB

and TS: Chas Smash vs. Bez shurely some mistake
