Hard-Fi: 'Can't Get Along (Without You)'

Occasionally it's forgivable for a band to completely thieve and pillage another tune for their own ends. Hard-Fi's 'Can't Get Along (Without You) bears more than a striking resemblance to The Ramone's cover 'Baby I Love You'. But rather than string them up and demand they cough up the royalties instantly, we're going to swoon along with its chirpy brass section and Motown-funk instead. Rather then bemoan a lack of creativity in the nation's young bands we are going to waltz along with the string section that kicks in during the chorus and pump our fists in the air when we hear it booming out of the Pyramid Stage speakers at Glastonbury 2010.

Some less credible critics have harped on about Rich Archer's clunky couplets and lyrical clangers but on this bumbling love anthem they make perfect sense. His Staines drawl of "I've realised what I did wrong / I screwed up and loved you all along" is all the more beautiful when you imagine 15,000 sweaty cockneys bellowing along in unison at Wembley, knowing full well the words could have been written specifically about them and their own relationship cock-ups. Archer was included on NME's 'Had It Lost It' section of the cool list last week. He won't care one jot if he can keep pumping out brassy, pop-rock anthems like this little belter.
