Very English songs

colonol_k [Edit] [Delete] 12:43, 24 November '06

I was listening to Cool For Cats by Squeeze this morning on my way to work, and it occurred to me that, unless you're from the UK, you'd probably have no idea what he's going on about.

Which led me to think, what other examples of hits are there that are very UK-centric and could only be popular here? Parklife-era Blur, stuff by The Jam, Ghost Town by The Specials, God Save The Queen...

I suppose other countries have a similar thing, I just find it quite interesting.
