I put The Divine Comedy's Best Of album on my iPod last weekend, and it got me to thinking that Neil Hannon is a fantastic songwriter. What's happened to him? He seems to have completely fallen off the radar. I always got the impression he was born at the wrong time and should have been swapping witticisms with Noel Coward in the 30s and 40s.
He also wrote the greatest song never to be entered into Eurovision.
Anyway, in the spirit of Lazy You Tube Embedding, here's my selected highlights from Hannon's, er, canon. Have it as a weekend treat on me, I'm sure you all deserve it after a shite week at work, right?
We all settled in? Right, we can begin.

Galloping along at a fair old lick...
Simply brilliant
