'Who Can Say' by The Horrors



Oh, don't we go on? This single hasn't been off our office stereo for the past few weeks, neither has its parent album Primary Colours (which you can hear to the right of this here feature). The best bit? Either the ascending keyboard riff that niggles at your brain or the mid-song, Ronettes-aping spoken word section. It may or may not be about Peaches Geldoff. It's testament to the quality of the song that it doesn't really matter.
