I love much of EN and "Junkenstein" is a great track in its own right, despite shortness ("Moodswings And Roundabouts", anyone?). However, my only problem is the resemblance to "Don't Get Me Wrong" by Clawfinger *. Not enough of a resemblance to accuse Ginge of a proper rip-off (not sure he'd ever have heard it anyway), but the verses are so similar I can't help but compare them when I hear "Junkenstein".


* For the young and uninitiated, Clawfinger were (and still are) a Swedish metal band peddling what has been bizarrely termed 'Industrial Rapcore'. Had minor indie rock hit in early Nineties with "The Truth", which features above track as a B-side. Accompanying debut album displays hilarious European attempts to incorporate English swearing in the lyrics:

"I'm still here although I hate it - I wonder why I even care about a place like this
I don't know if I can take it - I've had it up to here with your shit and your piss"

IF THERE'S A SOUND YOU PLAY THAT DOESN'T FIT TODAY,
WHY NOT JUST PLAY THE BASTARD ANYWAY?!
