I confess I can't stop singing this at work. I think it's cute and charming. Others can't stand it and think it's inane and daft...what do you think?

I have never heard it. If i'm in someones car i beg them to turn the radio off and put a CD on, and i don't watch any programmes on TV that play pop music. If it's a novelty tune, which i am sure it is, then i'll happily live the rest of my life without hearing it.

Thankfully Im not a radio / mtv type... my car is a Jap import so the radio only goes to 89.9 anyway

I've heard this a number of times in stores / pubs etc so like anything its been overplayed... not a terrible tune & my Da loves the sentiment but its been killed by overplay IMHO!

It's not at all bad imo.

Don't

it, but I do quite like it.

Best part is, it beat Westlife to the number one slot in the UK charts!

Straight in at number one as well. Very unusual for a track like this. At times it reminds me a bit of early Van Morrison.

only heard it a couple of times. poor lad seems confused - one minute his dad is B A Baracus and the next he's Bruce Lee, hardly lookalikes...

Maybe if you listened to it, you'd realise it isn't a novelty song, nor a working class anthem but a touching track about a boy and his dad, by an acoustic duo called Nizlopi who have been garnering praise from the highest levels just recently, after appearances at Glastonbury and Big Green Gathering this year.

"The most exciting hip hop, acoustic, double bass, JCB shit going down" said MOJO magazine

"The UK's most talented & exciting live acoustic duo - these boys have something very special" said Grammy winning producer Bob Marlette.

No novelty here. Open your mind, give it a listen. Tell you what, buy it on a CD if you can't stand the radio or TV

For those outside of the UK who might not know what a JCB is....

Is that anything like the praise Robbie Willaims, James Blunt, Jewel, Kylie Minogue, Kate Melua, Celine Dion, Aqua, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, Arctic Monkeys, The Magic Numbers et al have got/been getting?

You know fine well you wont even like it yourself in a week. how long have you been listening to music?
