Maybe this is why us Yanks don't get it...you're comparing the quality of vocals to the color of a jumpsuit!

Perhaps I'm just trying to help some other people understand why the Darkness are enjoyed by so many at the moment. It's only my take on it, really. I just find it a little ironic that, in a thread entitled "Americans Just Don't Get It..." people are saying that they don't like the Darkness because Hawkins's voice is annoying. You might as well say you don't like them because of the colour of their jumpsuits. _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
