I had forgotten how many of those songs I had heard already were really good. I found myself listening to the album and going 'oh yes, <i>that</i> one' half the time.

I'm intrigued by the mention of a song called <i>Patricia the Stripper</i>. A song by the same name was recorded some years ago by feudal nobleman and occasional adult-contemporary crooner Chris de Burgh. Could the Wombats' track be a cover version? Perhaps someone with their hands on a copy of the CD could look up the songwriting credit on the sleevenotes and provide an answer...
