30 Day Song Challenge: Day 6 - A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere

Threesome

What could be more fun that a load of chubby Hispanics making catchy pop-punk anthems?

Upon leaving the Old Country behind and starting a fresh new life in the post-industrial Mecca of Manchester, I moved into a house with 3 other buddychums from back home and like most champions in their 20's got drunk, partied, threw down some bad-ass shapes and did a long list of many other silly, fun things.

This song in particular, I wasn't too familiar with at the time, yet it was getting endlessly rinsed by certain individuals I lived with as we started swigging cheap corner-shop cider whilst getting ready to go out.

It reminds me of the fun, 'innocent' times, before the middle-20's crisis kicks in and the perils of reality, life and future prospects ram it's claws into your skull, dragging you away from the comfort zone of your expired youth you've been desperately clinging onto.

An ode to Manchester, circa 2007.
