New single ‘Fit... But You Know It’ will only continue the debate. It’s essentially the tale of a lad’s holiday in Tenerife featuring the prerequisite birds, booze and kebabs, and raises more questions than answers. Is this the world’s first pub rock/hip hop crossover? Is this ’clever clever’ or dumbing down? Is Skinner taking the piss (again)?
Whatever, ‘Fit...’ is already all over the airwaves like a dose of an especially nasty sexually transmitted disease, and is just as irritating. Why so? Well, maybe it's the repetitive, nagging guitar friff, the sing-song style vocals or the banal lyrics, especially in the chorus: "I’m not trying to pull you/ even though I would like to/ I think you are really fit/ You’re fit but my gosh don’t you know it". Fuck knows. It's probably all these things, topped-off with the overwhelming 'so bad, it's good' vibe that Skinner's made a career of.
One things for sure though, that in bars and clubs from Falaraki to Northampton, pissed up Brits will be glassing each other to this all summer long. A smash hit for sure. A hit... but you know it, if you will.
The Streets new album 'A Grand Don't Come For Free' is due for release on May 10th. Get the tracklisting and tour dates HERE

I loved OPM, but this does not bode well for the new album. I thought OPM was the musical equivalent to Human Traffic and I loved it....but I would not have appreciated a Human Traffic 2 and I don't think I'm gonna appreciate Skinners' follow up. Hope I'm wrong though.

The Streets - Fit...But You Know It
Fantastic! I like.
The record makes me laugh though, but you're right in that if the whole record is like that, it'll be a joke too far. Doubt it will be though.
And the Futureheads remix rocks.

Must say I quite enjoyed "OPM" as well - not as much as a lot of other people seemed to, but something about it just managed to click...

Fit... is starting to get on my tits, mainly because of the fact that in no less than 12 hours i saw two tv performances of it. I would love it if i'm pissed out with my mates, sober on the other hand it can be a bit annoyin... i really don't know yet. this is a confusing post.
I'm definitely looking forward to the album tho. I wanna make my judgement of Chav Skinner then.
