Vodafone ad
editThe Vodafone ad uses a (slightly trippy coldplay-esque) cover of the song. But by whom? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 19:52, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
It's by Bell X1, but apparently unreleased...
Lyrics
editI removed the lyrics because it is copyright violation. --Thebluesharpdude (talk) 02:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Irrelevant
editWhy is Blink 182 mentioned so prominently on this page? Steven McTowelie (talk) 22:01, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- Beats me. Google tells me it's one of three covers. Number774 (talk) 14:24, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- Well, it was a single. So wholly relevant. Who are the other versions by? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:34, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
Stolen from The Vibrators?
editOn listening to The Vibrators' Dance To The Music (aka Whips and Furs) from a year or two earlier than this song, it's clear that the bass and guitar lines are almost the same. Can anyone find a reliable source that would allow us to say something about this connection in the article? —David Eppstein (talk) 04:59, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hum, interesting. Never heard of Vibrators or this track but the similarity in places is remarkable. Can't help you but thanks for pointing it out.
- As it happens, I came here to ask a question; Perrett and his son recently (say in 2010/11) did an acoustic version of AGAP on radio 4 in the UK and it was exceptionally good, acousticallly much better than the original IMO, I wondered if anyone had any links to that. I can't find it on youtube. 83.244.217.149 (talk) 15:06, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Lyrical Description
editI dispute that these lyrics are about love. Common consensus, including Wikipedia's page on The Only Ones and plain common sense in general says they're about the heroin usage of the band. 90.200.75.118 (talk) 23:40, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- "It's about drugs" is a ridiculously-overused and shallow-minded cliche. In any case, we shouldn't be deciding for ourselves what it's about; we should be reporting on what reliable sources tell us. Since the sources we currently have don't say much about this, I think we need to leave claims of what it's about out of the article, at least until better sources turn up. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:53, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
Films
editThe song also appears in the film 'I'll Be There' (2003) starring Craig Ferguson. 86.180.8.35 (talk) 02:47, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
