The Beautiful South's Paul Heaton has a word in FHM's shell-like about his fave raves.
Waking up to...
Every morning around 8am, I wake up to Tchaikovsky's 'Waltz of the Flowers' - then realising how pretentious I am, I remove it before the postman arrives.
Having breakfast to...
I don't eat breakfast, but if I did, I'd butter my toast to 'Stuck in the Middle With You' by Stealer's Wheel. Of course, it was featured in that infamous 'ear scene' in Reservoir dogs.
Walking down the street to...
Strolling down the avenue to get a packet of onion-flavoured Monster Munch and a copy of Your Cat magazine from my local newsagent's, I would definitely have to be listening to the excellent 'Our Town' by Iris De Ment on my Walkperson.
A lunchtime drink to...
On the way back from the newsagent's, I'd sneak into The Grafton, say a few hellos, have a quick scoop and put on 'I Guess That's Why they Call it the Blues' by Elton John. Now there's a classic.
Getting drunk in the pub to...
Without a doubt, the best song to smash a pub up to is 'Love on a Farm Boy's Wages' by XTC. I've only ever done it once with a football crew - it was the most delirious free-for-all I've ever experienced.
Dancing dementedly to...
If I was ever to dance with wild abandon, which isn't very likely, to be honest, it would have to be 'Jump Around' by House of Pain. It's a quick walk home from The Grafton - but to make it faster, I'd do bunny-hops the whole damn way.
Suffering a hangover to...
After the immense feelings of guilt and self-loathing that can only be associated with lending a hand in imporomptu pub-refurbishment, the song to come down to, I'm saying, has got to be 'Broken Wings' by John Mayall.
