There it is again – that weird rocket-launching noise which crops up on their cover of "Uptown Girl". It's clear that Westlife have no shame when it comes to truck driver's gear changes, and I suppose you have to credit them with being committed: many groups might sheepishly try to gloss over the situation as much as possible, but these guys seem to relish the moment by building up to it with industrial-style sound effects.

I can only assume from the unsubtly arranged chimes that this was a Christmas single. Look on the bright side, though: at least it's not another cover version. They thought this shit up all on their own. Well, their songwriters did, anyway.

Listen!
