There’s something slightly glam about the chorus (in both the 80s hair metal and 70s use of the word) but whereas the best of those groups would have put some kind of sledgehammer behind it, a spark of energy, something to disguise the song’s obvious deficiencies, Busted’s delivery is so featherweight they almost blow away. It’s a truly awful production which helps them none, leaving them exposed as a bunch of Jilted Johns without a decent joke or tune crying into their cans of Bass Shandy. Reading a few posts higher up about: ‘America or Busted’. Their scripted MTV documentary to break the States, coinciding and filmed around this single release period. 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.

Take a look at Busted through the years:

Anyway, I was in Sixth Form by this point; I could say more about my experience of Busted but I see I pretty much covered it in the comments for You Said No, and more succinctly than I would be likely to do now. Good job, 2019 me! I might say more when we meet them for the last time in the near future. Bourne formed Busted when he was 17 years old and signed a major label deal in 2002. Their eponymous debut album, which included UK No.1 You Said No, has currently sold more than 2.2 million copies worldwide.

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. I suppose the problem for a band like Busted in the US is how much use would Americans who aren’t anglophiles have for an act who were essentially a British riff on a US style? A bit like NBC making a US remake of Coupling when the original was pretty much just a British riff on Friends. Vincent, Alice (12 May 2016). "Does Charlie Simpson regret agreeing to a Busted reunion? Wembley Arena review". The Daily Telegraph. ISSN 0307-1235 . Retrieved 21 April 2023.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. I was indeed attending a High School when Busted first came on the scene. My uncle chided me on my Americanism when I mentioned it by name; needless to say, I had the last laugh.
