Who's David

Product Information

Answer: The music video for Who’s David visually enhances the song’s message, portraying the internal struggles of the protagonist through compelling visuals and storytelling. With its creative direction, the video adds another layer of depth to the overall interpretation of the song. 11. Has Who’s David remained popular over the years? In 2016, Busted reformed, signing to Warner Music’s East West label, and released their third studio album, Night Driver. They followed this up in 2019 with Half Way There, which reached No.2 in the UK albums chart.

Answer: Through the use of dynamic and vibrant melodies, along with relatable lyrics, Who’s David effectively conveys the range of emotions experienced in love triangles. The lyrics evoke feelings of confusion, uncertainty, and intense attraction, reflecting the burstiness of emotions in such scenarios. 6. Can listeners relate to the song’s themes? As a child I assumed that like with Take That and the Spice Girls European/World chart dominance, Busted and other multiple chart topping, BRIT Award winners naturally followed suit.

With regard to mainland Europe: patchy, non-existent, and predominantly outside Top 40. So on “Crashed the Wedding” we covered what is for me, Busted’s crowning glory of their number ones, and a shining example of when they were really at the peak of their powers and were as brilliant as they were. Revisiting “Who’s David” under 2023 eyes, I am feeling the same about it as you are Tom; it’s undoubtedly the weak link of singles from the ‘A Present For Everyone’ album, an awkward lyric and I dare say whiny and unlikeable beast 17 years on.

Take a look at Busted through the years:

Who’s David?” is a song about a cheating girlfriend. There are great kiss-off songs in pop, but as cathartic payoffs go, “I’m over you / Ooo ooo ooo / I don’t like you” isn’t exactly top tier. There are also plenty of average jealous-guy records, with varying levels of rage and contempt, entitlement and pain. Lines like “I know your pretty face / Gets far with guys / But your make up ain’t enough to hide the lies” read like they could be from some Nuggets-era compilation makeweight or Mod Revival also-ran.

I had no particular relationship to this song, besides appreciating that it was at least a little different from the previous singles, and thinking Who’s David? was quite an intriguing title for a mainstream Pop song. I agree their worst No. 1 is yet to come, Air Hostess I have a soft-spot as a seeming act of grotesque self-parody. “Messed my pants” indeed.Who's David (UK cassette single sleeve). Busted.

For Busted the desire to make an angry, slut-shaming punk-pop record and the desire to make a hooky, singalong Busted record turn out to clash horribly. You can hear it in the chorus – which starts in a typical Busted jaunty, anthemic mode ( “Are you sure that you’re mine…”) and then ends up at – in the uncut version – “You’re just a whore, you sleep around the town / And I got proof cos the word is going round”. Oh, mate. Year 3000’ and ‘Crashed The Wedding’ for their pure silly sugar rush nature. ‘What I Go To School For’ and ‘3AM’ because I genuinely like them.
