Does anyone else think this song is complete genius? It fits the new Nike ad perfectly and yesterday when Chris was playing it for ages it had me in stitches. Focus for Number 1!! the videos even better, their all crazy!!

given that this seems to be the focus (pardon the pun) of your existance on the forum thus far, plugging the band and the group - i can hardly believe your intentions are honourable.

whilst i agree with your sentiment, i dislike having my intelligence insulted.

Honesty is the best policy.

Those who omit the truth with the intention of personal gain should * right off.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE CAMPAIGN.

p.s. i'm not in a great mood, and you're nowhere near pretty enough to be a model

They play it on Rock Radio so I knew it already...if they're gonna revive a 70s rock classic, there are a lot of better tracks they could choose.

I'm afraid there is no way on earth anyone could stretch the definition of "genius" that far. Utter tripe IMO.

Cheers,

Because of the RM links being screwed, I've had a blip in listening this week till I heard yesterdays show. What is this Focus pish all about? I've listened to the song. I don't get it.

Chris has become obsessed with the song after hearing it on the Nike ad, and then tracking down the full version. It was okay at first, but the relentless playing of it is getting on my nerves now!

Gone down to 34.

Still can't believe it made it so high. I saw the advert for the first time yesterday. It's pretty good actually.

You don't really think that this person has a financial interest in a 30 odd year old song by a niche (at best) band from Holland, do you?

I suspect no more evil motive than youthful exuberance.

Though I am a trusting sort.

Pah, being a (an the time slightly tipsy) cynic it seems a piggy back on the 'Get RATM to Number One' fad, which one large group in particular, ran by an arse named Jon Morter, who basically used a larger phenomenon to claim that he was behind it. Every UK news article mentioned the facebook group, and eventually his name, which he used a lot.

i have a lot of rage (no pun intended) toward people who are unable to use social networking tools to a decent and reasoned application, with a pet hate being those who join forums in order to 'buddy up' with the audience and plug whatever it is they are trying to peddle.

this stems from my field of study :(
