'There are secrets, there are secrets, there are secrets.'
I really don't know enough about Ben Lee to write anything authoritative. But since when has knowledge ever been a barrier to music journalism? Plus it's all about the music, isn't it?
This track has been doing it for me ever since it was featured as the fadeout to an Alan Shearer interview on Football Focus last Saturday. It's the first time that the Professional Geordie Whinger has ever appeared interesting.
I've asked Mr Google about Mr Lee, but haven't really come up with anything worth sharing. Seeing as though my days of being able to boast an encyclopaedic database of chart knowledge are long gone, I'm going to look rather silly if Whatever It Is has been No. 1 for the past fifteen weeks.
I like the philosophy of Whatever It Is, if nothing else. Life mantras such as Just Do It, Go For It and better to regret doing something than regret not doing it are all fine. Except when it backfires on you big time you look like a knobber.
Whatever It Is (I Just Did It). It was a brave move, but bollocks.
