"The first song I fell in love with Judy Teen by Cockney Rebel. I'd seen Steve Harley on Top of the Pops and liked his look, with the mascara and bowler hat, like Alex from A Clockwork Orange. One day, me and my mates decided to cycle to Salisbury Plain. I had a transistor radio tied to the handlebars and Judy Teen came on."
"The song I do at karaoke I normally have a go at (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin. It's a big song, man. But I'm never shy. When I do karaoke, it's usually like: Dad, get off, for fuck's sake. The best song to play at a party For dancing, Teardrops by Womack & Womack. It's so simple, so uplifting."
He fell in love with 'Judy Teen' by Cockney Rebel after seeing Steve Harley on Top of the Pops and cycling with a transistor radio. He bought his first single, 'The Wall Street Shuffle' by 10cc, and later stole records before paying his dues. His karaoke song is '(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman' by Aretha Franklin. He recommends 'Teardrops' by Womack & Womack for dancing and recalls a chaotic Australian end-of-tour party. He vowed not to still be playing 'Baggy Trousers' at 30 but now enjoys it. He secretly likes 'White Flag' by Dido and finds Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On' romantic. He discovered Prince Buster's 'Al Capone.'
