I agree - I've not seen a justified explanation why DFF shouldn't be the
next single. All I've seen is that it shouldn't be. Why not, I ask? It's a
great catchy song, almost the old style of Madness - remember how well they
did in the charts back then? People still listen to them now (I heard My
Girl on the radio the other day!). Just give it the right publicity and it
could do well. Hey, this is Madness! We're supposed to support them!
