... it used to play on the radio quite a bit.

The lyrics I remember went something like:

I ain't got time
to get up again
you're never gonna get me down

Dancing the night away
Just dancing the night away..."

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Help a lost soul!

Just as I posted, it came to me. I was remembering the lyrics wrong. It's:

I get knocked down, but I get up again... by, uh... it'll come to me.

You didn't remember the lyrics correctly or I'd have known in a heart beat.

It goes:

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Edit:

Chumbawamba - Tub Thumping

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the better times:

"Oh Danny Boy, Danny boy..."

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him of the better times:

"Don't cry for me next door neighbor..."

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're nevre going to keep me down

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

It's cool the first two or three times you hear it. After that it's just that one song about getting sloshed.

... it's one of those songs, its decent but you hear it so much in movie trailers and commercials and commercials before movie trailers that you just try to block it out after too long.

I could've sworn one of the older FIFA games used that as their lead track too.

I used to like that song, both of them. Until I finally snapped from hearing them the billionth time on the radio...

That's exactly why I won't listen to local radio stations. Nothing against the stations personally, but it just gets grating hearing the same 10 songs in as little as 2 days time.

Sorry, does that sound picky?

Yeesh...

Not at all and I'm exactly the same way. The radio just ruins songs via repetition.
