I can't listen to The Kooks without imagining twentysomething students in a pub, with leather jackets drinking a pint of Carling. They are all watching the football and talking about how great the Keane and Razorlight are. The Kooks write music for the 'Decent Lad' who to quote Ray Davies "Like their Football on a Saturday and Roast Beef on Sunday".
I Hate 'Lads', but I hate 'Decent Lads' even more....
