Duel – Animal
Chris George
The era of ‘90s pop rock is gone, but it seems no-one told Duel, but then that’s by no means a bad thing. The full-on guitars romp alongside some odd lyrics (“Me animal, you animal”), with some token keyboards thrown in for good measure.
Sod the zeitgeist and all who sail in her: “Animal” is a lively catchy tune – nothing special, but very likable.

I'm a London lad to the core: Born up a chimney with a broom inexplicably already wedged in my hand, I spent the next 8 years of my life flitting between the venerable professions of shining shoes, picking pockets and sweeping chimneys (for which one needs three years training in tap dancing and two in modern dance, as clearly demonstrated in the documentary Mary Poppins). A kindly middle class couple took pity on me and, after 2 years of strict finishing school and beating my ruffian Cockernee accent out of me in some sort of grim, tainted re-enactment of My Fair Lady, I was ready to hit the streets afresh in a respectable fashion and get a proper education. The alternate version of my childhood involves me standing in the corner of my primary school playground wearing Allstars, ripped jeans and leather jackets, smoking Gauloises, looking down my nose at all the other kids, reading Proust and listening exclusively to obscure '70s B-sides on "7 records. Whichever you choose to believe, the story leads us to the present day with but one certainty in this life of mine: I've got great hair.
