| "Straight In At 37"
The Funny Lyrics: Why don't your videos have dancing girls,
with hips that curve and lips that curl? Legs are where that heartbeat starts, it's low in neckline and high in charts. Why They're Funny: This is ironic, the Beautiful South are in fact the most intensely unfashionable (and thus inexplicably successful) band in the uk. I love them to death.
