Buy Red Light Company - Meccano [Single] From Amazon.com

As far as guilty pleasures go this single from The Red Light Company does a fair job of making you feel bad about yourself. It's so wonderfully inoffensive you can almost see the movie credits roll as the latest kids blockbuster ends with some bright eyed scamp getting his hair ruffled by the wisened old parent figure - we've been through so much together *sniff*.

A xylophone intro twinkles things off into the big old pop hooks you know from The Feeling, Scouting For Girls and on and on and onto the usual lyrical fare that happens to be so banal it goes in one tube and out the other with only the slightest skim off the surface. Then it's crashing into the chorus and Red Light Company better be watching their backs - did they not know Blink 182 were touring again?

A relentlessly uplifting slice of pop then, that will live in your heart less time than the actual song takes to play out.
