This is one of the Mentals' greatest hits, tho' not quite as big
as "If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too" or "Spirit Got Lost" (with
its perfect closing line of "and I'm about to get lost too").
But when did everybody go south who can't, really, geographically?
Funny old world where a yank in North Carolina is telling a bird
in Glasgow about an OZ pop song, innit? (Must be what they mean
by "globalization.")
