No effects have been empirically discerned from Chumbawumba going over to the side of capital, except that every single major movie that isn't Titanic uses "Tubthumping" in its trailer. Apparently that song is played continually at ice hockey games as well. To be honest anything that evangelizes the practice of pub singing to my fellow americans is something I cannot quibble with. When drunk, the best my countrymen can muster is "Bye Bye Miss American Pie," except for New Years, when they "sing" the first line of "Auld Lang Syne." Fuck it to that plan to make people pay for university, by the way. The main result in the US since the end of the post-war policy of socializing tuition has been the stratification of the universities into very rigid tiers, where movement of twats into the upper middle class is held up as a trophy: "see, we're meritocratic!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
