it has Owen doing the vocals and it sounds so much better, although the song makes more sense narrated by a girl. i love the drum sample in this version too, it has the dull thud of an overheard houseparty next door that the beautiful people are having.
there's a kind of careless abandon to this song; the kind of carefree attitude that the weekend brings. unfortunately, it's tempered with the comedown the following day, 'I wouldn't smell like smoke & I'd still
have the cash that I had spent on drinks'. boy, am i in touch with that. although, he sings drink (singular) in the daytrotter version, which is more irish and means the narrator was definitely hitting the alcohol at the disco.
there is a great version of this song available here: daytrotter.com/article/1183/casiotone-for-the-painfully-alone-daytrotter-session
