  • Ukpe@rson from Teesside JEE2P a go to summer album.
  • Mike from LondonThe song does have meaning. At the time, Kelly Jones used to write lyrics based on interactions with people and people watching. The band were in San Francisco and jumped into a cab. The driver commented how he hated San Francisco, its tourists and processed fish. After this negative introduction, the can ride ended with the driver ironically saying "Have a nice day"
  • Nick from Cambridge, EnglandI love pretty much all Stereophonics songs, I was amazed to see so few comments and facts about them.
  • Amy from Chester, EnglandThis is a very catchy song that you can't help falling in love with. 5 stars*****
  • Paul from Galway, IrelandHow come no-ones commented on this brilliant song. I love the stereophonics. Theyre unreal. Another group of singers to come out of wales. Catchy song. Smooth and Lounge type song. One of their best
