My iPod #170: Supergrass - Caught by the Fuzz

Supergrass' first official single as a band. Sounding like it was recorded in a few minutes in cramped and compact room, "Caught by the Fuzz" is an autobiographical account of lead singer Gaz Coombe's first time of being arrested by the police when he was only 15.

The song is very quick. Quite punk-esque, with a semi-talking verse and a belter of a chorus which all end with the word 'tonight'. Well, it's not really a chorus. But if you listen to it, you will understand what I mean.

The film "Hot Fuzz" has this track playing during the credits, so if you wanted to know what that song was called.... here it is.

It is the second song on the band's first album "I Should Coco", a bit of Cockney rhyming slang for those of you who aren't familiar.
