More overplayed than overrated I'd say. Cracking song.

Re: Great songs where the recognised lead singer doesn't sing the song
Agreed. I live in a country where it isn’t overplayed and it’s one of my favorite Blur songs.
Good choice with Near Wild Heaven.

I'm glad you broke this ice. I was going to say Crooked Beat (I'm guessing I'm in the minuscule minority here - but it works for me).
