Wow – that’s something I never knew before, and you’ve mentioned a 00s C4 drama I used to find myself occasionally watching for no good reason – and of course, mainly for the awkward, hangdog misadventures of the character Sooz. Eventually, they released their first single in 2004, which was this, a tribute to the character Suzanne 'Sooz' Lee from the comedy-drama As If, a rebellious punk who you guessed, wore multicoloured dreadlocks in her hair.

I like the massed vocals on “shaved five colours OFF AND NOW”, unashamedly Beatlesy as they may be (maybe? There’s been some wonderful records that mesh different styles, obviously, but it rarely sounds good when someone is obviously keeping one eye on the marketing and hedging their bets. I can imagine myself liking McFly, even loving McFly, and honestly I expected this place to be more enthusiastic about them, but I was never quite convinced myself. The lyrics of the song were inspired by the characterization of actress Emily Corrie for the character Suzanne Lee, in the series As If, the character used colored dreadlocks. If you try to carefully keep the sound within tight, sensitive lines, you’ll usually end up coming up with something that’s neither great pop nor fantastic rock.The video begins by introducing the band members in a comical style, by getting Danny and Dougie's names wrong. In all honesty I can’t claim to be the world’s biggest authority/fan on these guys (or Busted for that matter), so it gets a generous 4/10 from me. Multiplatinum-selling pop group McFly are to become the latest music act to give their new album away for free after signing a deal with the Mail on Sunday.

The mainstream has always been fickle and they will soon grow tired of McFly, Rooster, et al, at which point, they will move onto the next fad, whatever shape that happens to take. Nowt wrong with kid's TV Themes, the song just makes me think of bad kid's TV shows - the kind where they run businesses and get into scrapes and wearing bright clothes. But i think mcfly are gonna be catchier and cuter than Busted (especially now that busted are attenpting to be more serious). I rewatched the first episode and a half a couple of years ago, I think because I was staying somewhere and the only thing I could get to work on the TV was All 4 (that’s my excuse, anyway). I should actually give credit where credit is due, I blame Catty and that summer I spent at Princess Park Manor finishing the album artwork and overdosing on music videos.He did a musical of it about a year later that was on at Hammersmith Apollo for all of that December, Matt Willis and Harry Judd were in it as well I think?

Foi escrita pelos dois vocalistas da banda, Tom Fletcher e Danny Jones, e por James Bourne, na época integrante da banda Busted. In many ways, in much the same way Westlife was a finessing of what Louis Walsh got right with Boyzone, so were McFly a fine tuning of everything that made Busted work but even better, some of their best stuff actually comes long after they stopped having number ones. This annoyed me when I was younger as it felt like a huge impressionable fan base were being told who to like and support.

And where Busted’s work got a little uglier as they grew a little, McFly’s best work is still comfortably ahead of them, their attitudes maturer, their subjects obscurer, their music a lot more intriguing – though, crucially, seldom ever less fun. The gap between McFly and, say, Kaiser Chiefs is social more than it is musical: different fans, different lyrical priorities, but a similar commitment to bouncy guitar pop like the stuff your mum danced to. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Danny Jones turned up to those auditions, singing an Oasis song with a guitar whilst everyone else was pirouetting and giving it Backstreet Boys. Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through.

But where Busted still clung desperately to pop-punk stylings like deliberately awful singing and rubbish tunes, McFly are just unashamedly power pop. I think he's singing about a girl who was totally different to everyone else, and he loved her for that. Whereupon someone somewhere appears to have gone "damn, but Busted aren't even that good looking, imagine if we had a Busted who WERE" and created McFly. James Bourne towered over one camera to introduce his friends with the inevitable legend: “In the words of Marty McFly, you guys might not be ready for this yet, but your kids are gonna love it. Danny is a pretty good guitarist for a 17 year old (he was when they released this song anyway) not the best, true, but on the album there are some pretty good lead solos on the album, which is better than some bands who's complete album collection is power chords.

They are managed by Prestige Management, and were signed to the Island Records label from their launch (2004) until December 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records.
