Songs About Petticoats Never Sounded So Good

Amazingly this is the sixth release from The Kooks debut album 'Inside In/ Inside Out' and by now most people have made up their minds about Luke Pritchard and his gang. So, will 'Ooh La' transform you into a Kooks fan in just over three minutes? Probably not but it will have you involuntarily chanting about a "pretty, pretty petticoat" and singing "Ooh la" in an exaggerated over the top faux Luke Pritchard accent that could lead to just a few bemused stares from members of the public.

'Ooh La' finds The Kooks in a melancholic state, reminiscing about lost love accompanied with a jangly melody that soon worms its way into your head. You're either going to love it or hate, there is no middle ground but, whichever side you stake your claim to you can not escape the catchiness of 'Ooh La' so brace yourself for the inevitable uncontrollable sing along. Songs about petticoats never sounded so good.
