    The Missionary Position is hilarious - who will be the 1st to cover it?...

      FFS was, for me, a return to the Kimono My House days of Sparks - hooks, complex lyrics, and a fast tempo. And Hippopotamus continues this, to the extent that I wouldn't have been surprised if the songs were written at the same time.
