What fine song this is. Great riff, good tune, with vocals that interchange between the rather sardonic verss and the gruff, barked-out chorus. Apparently The Cribs' Ryan Jarman has a track record of writing songs about misogyny and other "issues", and this is a perfect slice of guitar music (with a commercial edge lent by the production of Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos) to accompany the rather withering riposte to today's lifestyle magazine culture (at least that is what I think - I am no expert!).
The point being, decent lyrics, good tune plus good performance makes this a great song, that will probably still sound fantastic for many years to come.
