It's a beautiful set up isn't it? I DO feel jealous.

So why not just **** around? Doesn't hurt us and we're probably not gonna help them.
To be fair, this guy is better than most. He actually has a recording of the song, rather than a three-second snippet taped in a restaurant over the sounds of voices and chinking* glasses and plates, or the kind of description we're used to - "90s, maybe 2000, girl singer, goes LA LA LA LA, might be electronic, not sure".

And as it goes, some of us do help. I recently lent my assistance to a guy who was trying to identify, of all things, civil war era music, and I got a few of the tracks for him but not them all. I try to help when I can, as long as the information is there.

You just **** with people cos you're a ****.

* Jesus H Christ! Chink is a banned word????
