still a good song and arguably better than 3 girl rhumba but by no means that does that indicate elastica being better than wire's entire discography

Loving how this song is influenced by Wire and completely better than anything Wire ever did. Seriously. Since 12 people actually like Wire, is it possible they influenced Elastica and were SURPASSED by Elastica? I think so.

Response to below: I don't think the riff is that original or the reason people liked this song.

I remember seeing them perform Connection on Top Of The Pops & it was the most exciting thing I'd ever seen & heard. It started a life-long obsession with Elastica & the Frisch. But I can't actually listen to this song anymore, it's so overplayed. TV themes, beer adverts, nightclubs. Though I'll never ever forget it...

regardless of who took what riff or who ripped off who, this is the one everyone remembers, and for a reason.

I compiled a playlist of scams in music and included this one because Elastica blatantly stole the opening riff from The Wire's Two Girl Rhumba. You can hear them side-by-side and decide for yourself here: http://www.last.fm/user/lloydshare/library/playlists/4yyi1_scams_in_music%2527s_history_-_compiled_by_lloydshare

JEE-BUS! I TOTALLY forgot about this song. Wow! Really cool to hear it again like 16 years later.

Always remembered Liam Gallager's put down to Blur's Damon ("Your girlfriend rocks harder than you!") and in this song he was right! Great guitar!
