"At the time we were really fancying ourselves as a vocal band, so there's me and Bunf and Cian and Daf harmonising away on top of a rock 'n' roll pop song. It's a recurring communicative theme - the air that we breathe is full of people talking crap. Its one of my girlfriend's dad's theories, because there's radio waves everywhere, and if you visualised all these waves then the earth would be surrounded by this network of rings and pollution and junk. We spent a night phoning around the world. We'd get the national code and then try random numbers. We thought we'd make this amazing collage but it's just a collection of these irate people being woken up at four o'clock in the morning. The American Embassy in Madagascar, a record shop in Osaka, a record company in Australia..." "Again it is about the earth around the millennium and how we'll have this space debris of satellites, so we'll have rings around like Saturn but they'll be TV sets and bits of satellite." Both quotes from Gruff Rhys.
Massively underrated band who had both the tunes and the attitude.❤️
Very underrated

One of the greatest songs in pop music history that breaks every rule. The video is also genius.
still one of the UKs best bands to come out of the 90s. Love Super Furries!
After over 20s years, still a go-to track.
Man alive, I loved this band. xx
*love
So much joy in this song, even after all these years it still fills me with that same giddy excitement
Earth will become Saturn II!
