It's really like... pointless in a way - I mean who writes a song about wanting to be a punk rocker with flowers in their hair... just weird lol. But it's really catchy, I keep getting it in my head.
I love it:p my mums a fan of it to believe it or not as we don't always have the same music taste as each other:rolleyes: and it also seems to be in my head:p

I LOVE IT! It's so easy to get it stuck in your head. I spent the whole day at work and drama singing it and I annoyed some people but others joined it! Tis a fab song! :D

My friend actually saw one of her webcasts before she was given a record deal. He talks about her so much, I just had to listen to her song. It is great!
It was good at first but its on all the time becuase of adverts and appearnaces on tv, it is now grating on me and i find it extremley iritating.
Just though I'd say that Sandi is going to be on Radio 1 in the next hour.

The only thing wrong with the song is it is rather short. I noticed that when I listened to the cd, it's about 2 minutes and a half long, I think.
It's ok, not a favourite as it knocked Crazy off number one :rotfl:

Yeah same here, I was watching the video and it was just really short... I thought there was going to be more to it - would be better if it was longer :D
This song has really grown on me now, and I have the single.

i dont accturly like it but since she mentioned punk rocker keep on rocking girl:P havnt seen the video might have to check it out
It annoys me. There is no beat, it's just her singing and her voice annoys me. Unfortunately, it's very catchy.

Lmao well the songs more about like how life used to be with punks back then... so maybe they had flowers in their hair back then? :hmm:

I was confused originally by this song, it has the same title as the B side of the 1978 classic 'We're On the March Wie Ally's Army'
I can't remember all the lyrics but it started:
I wanna be a punk rocker but my mammy willnae let me
She says if am a punk she'll throw me oot an hit me
I wanna be a punk rocker but I canna be a punk
Cos ma mammy willnae let me be a punk
Oh no, nae chance!
Scots a a certain age should remember this well.
It was some comedian or something? Andy Cameron I think!
Lmao well the songs more about like how life used to be with punks back then... so maybe they had flowers in their hair back then? :hmm:
no they never.. Punk never had flowers anywhere!! she is thinking of hippy.. And if she really wished she was a punk rocker she should write a damn punk song..

Punker rock with flowers in hair, refer's to the two years that she then sings, in 77 and 69. Those two years refering to the the punker rocker years and the hippy - flowers in hair years.

Ok granted 69 was the hippies but punk rocker they were not and punk never had flowers in there hair.. needle in their faces yes.. trust me I was there

She's not saying punker rockers had flowers in their hair, she's saying the hippy of 69 did.

It was tongue in cheek, Andy Cameron was a middle aged Glasweigian. The song was awful and hillarious in equal measure.
Looking back at 'we are on the march wie ally's army', the tartan army was not always humble and accepting of their fate. I think that this song was partly the turning point for us. We were actually rubbing in the fact that Scotland qualified for the world cup in 1978 and England did not.
'When we lift the world cup 'co Scotland is the greatest football team'
"England cannae dae it cos they didnae qualify"
God it makes you cringe! But we learned a lesson, I think
