I drove my rental car off a mountain in the rain in Slovenia after getting a bit excited singing along to this! I was fine, the car not so much...

I've been to Slovenia several times on caving expeditions. Some of those mountain roads are pretty slippery. Two of the cars I've been travelling in have had problems going around some of those hair-pin bends and we weren't going that fast. On one occasion we were going at less than 20mph in a large 4x4 but we still managed to aquaplane and the only thing that stopped us going over the edge was crashing into a road sign. Bit of a brown trouser moment!

@@ivanleg what a small world it'd be. Strange little coincidences happen all the time. I'm from the midlands myself but made a friend in Nottingham. When I went on holiday to the U.S, we stayed at a hotel with a pool and I heard an English accent, they told me they were from Nottingham and I jokingly asked if they knew the one person I knew from there. They were friends with her sister. 3 years later I was on holiday in Tunisia and on a tour bus to Carthage, the person sitting in front of me turned round and addressed me by name. She was in my year at school but with a totally new image, the face was unmistakable though. Life is strange and wonderful sometimes, no?

Never really considered you guys as Britpop. That was 1995/1996 with Blur pretending to be The Small Faces, Oasis pretending to be The Beatles, Elastica & a bunch of cheap knock-offs jumping on the 'Cool Britannia' sound bandwagon for a few years. This is not generic or derivative in any way-just great pop/rock music .

I would go back to the 1990s like a shot if it was possible. What an amazing decade of music and creativity

i was living in england in 96 gives me so many good memories hearing this song again, made me 22 again!!

Took my girl Lara Croft around these canals back in the 90s. Good times.

Funny how some songs you just have to keep coming back to. ..❤

Masterpiece of all time. I end up coming back to appreciate it again and again.

I remember hearing this song back in 1996 on San Francisco modern rock radio. I thought it was a great tune back then, and my friends and I would use "There's something in the woodshed" as a non sequitur during conversations in bars and clubs. Makes me chuckle remembering. I forgot about the song in the years since, but recently Spotify recommended I listen to The Divine Comedy based on my music tastes. The name sounded vaguely familiar but meant nothing to me. I gave the album CASANOVA a spin and "Hey! 'Something for the Weekend'! I remember that song! There's something in the woodshed!" CASANOVA led me to A SHORT ALBUM ABOUT LOVE and ... I'm hooked. I'm sad and frustrated The Divine Comedy doesn't have the audience it deserves in the States, but goddam!, I'm glad I get to feed my ears with the music now. I've got 30 years and 11 albums to catch up on, and it's all a fresh discovery for me. My new favorite is past perfect. Thank you!

One of my fave tracks ever! This classic drew me instantly when it came out. Total Divine Comedy fan, ever since.

Neil is a poet for the ages.

Still loving this ,, I played this to my young nephews and they loved it … class is class 😁

reminds me of listening to mark and lard on radio 1 and a really miserable school trip to Snowdonia.

"I'll go all the way with you If you'll only do the same for me - go and see" - classic.

I worked in a record shop when this was new, and didn't really appreciate hearing this album constantly. Now I listen to it constantly, and I love it!

I haven't listened to this in ages. Bring back the 90s lol

I used to play this so loud in the car my wife could hear me coming, great song.

Last night Neil played live in Milan, Italy. A wonderful gig, thank you, we love you.

Neil Hannon est la façon dont vous dites en anglais, l’un des écrivains et chanteurs les plus novateurs et originaux. Dire qu’il est un génie n’est pas un euphémisme. J’adore cette piste.

Reminds me of happy times in college. Divine Comedy got me through some rough times. xoxo

Lyrics She said "There's something in the woodshed And I can hear it breathing It's such an eerie feeling, darling" He said "There's nothing in the woodshed It's your imagination End of the conversation, darling" Something in his heart told him to come clean He was not who he claimed to be Something in his genes told him to pretend 'Twas something for the weekend But she said "There's something in the woodshed I know because I saw it I can't simply ignore it, darling" So he said "Now baby, don't be stupid Get this into your sweet head There ain't nothing in the woodshed (except maybe some wood)" Something in his heart told him to come clean He was not who he claimed to be Something in his jeans told him to pretend 'Twas something for the weekend "I'll go all the way with you, if you'll only do the same for me, go and see If it's nothing like you say, then you can have your wicked way with me" He went down to the woodshed They came down hard on his head Gagged and bound and left for dead When he woke she was gone with his car and all of his money

Wow. I remember over 20 years ago when this won a telephone poll on the Radio One Saturday breakfast show, when Neil and another musician gave a short pitch as to why their record should get their first daytime radio one play. Neil pitched this mostly on the syncopated repetition of "something for the weekend". ❤️❤️❤️

Love this song.

I love this tune ☺

Amazing...
