On this list we have now had: *** people who didn't like the whole Wonderful album months before it was even released; *** people who disliked Lovestruck and JTH unto themselves as songs and then argued what big mistakes each was to be released as a single (a mistake in the case of Lovestruck's top-10 placing and a debatable point with JTH's non-publicity); *** people claiming that it was obvious that The Wizard/Saturday Night Sunday Morning/Elysium/No Money had to be the next single for reasons which are so clear to them but none of the rest of us fools; *** and now DFF also being attacked as a choice for a single. I haven't seen anyone claim not to like DFF as a song though I'm sure such a person will soon post (and is welcome to, of course). Is it going to be Top 10 in England? Probably not, but it could be a fun Christmas season song over there with some chart success, whatever it may be. Ian Dury hasn't exactly been burning up the charts either, so teaming his and Madness' fans will probably not make a huge difference. I dare say many Ian Dury fans are of an age that doesn't buy many singles. With his fight against cancer, I believe he has made himself a more publicly visible and sympathetic figure, so that may work in the favor of DFF's success. Maybe Madness feel they are thanking him for his inspiration by putting the song on which he collaborated out for the public at large to appreciate. Also, maybe all or part of the proceeds will go to cancer research. I think we should all just lighten up, relax and enjoy the album already.
