The ultimate drinking song.
****
Catchy song but that's about it.

So Damn Catchy it can't be ignored. 3 Stars.
****
catchy song
*****
A complete guilty pleasure for me, there's no other way to describe it. It's a pretty bad track on just about every level, and yet it works so well.
****
Cool and catchy track, impossible not to really get into it when it starts playing.
****
This really is a great and unique odd sounding quirky track aided in part by the strong Scottish accent. Also has the distinction of having had more success overseas than here in the UK, their homeland. UK#11 and Ireland#14. US#3.

Sorry, annoying for me.
*****
Never gets annoying for me.
*****
This song does take ahold of you, but I'm always going to remember it for being on those Retravision ads!
****
Classic beer song, though it can be annoying as hell particulary the accents

One of those song you hate so much that you enjoy it.
**
So overrated. For me it's just average
****
A good song that is quite catchy and singable, however it does get a little irritating after a while though.
