Song Of the Day: May 28, 2005
The UK Favourites made two terrific singles; after much deliberation, we have decided to run this one, a cover of some Swedish band I forget the name of. The morse code guitar bit is pertty clever, no? Their other single, "Angelica"/"Cold," besides being another solid two-sider, had a great sleeve, a parody of Blondie's Eat To the Beat LP. All the singles tracks plus demos are available on a vinyl LP (sorry, no CD) on the Low Down Kids website.

God... I know I've heard this before. Has anyone else covered this?
I lurv the Morse guitar. Cheesy musical puns warm my cockles.
They played this on Oldies 95 yesterday (the original, not this one). Spooky.
How great to hear Nottingham's Favourites again! Sudden flashback to Darryl insisting we 'dance in our favourite shoes'...
wow! this is amazing!
SOS was recorded at Spaceward Studios in Cambridge on the night that Thatcher was elected.
Saw the Favourites a few times at the Imperial on St James' Street, Nottingham. Still have this as a 45 in my collection from the days when Forest were the Kings of Europe.
