New Wave bands[edit]

The song has lots of obvious audio references to New Wave bands ... Yazoo, New Order, Cure... perhaps some of them could be explained.71.191.146.206 (talk) 01:28, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The similiarities to New Order has been mentioned by 3rd parties, so I included that already. But we'd need other sources to make the rest of the comparisons (though it is clearly there, don't get me wrong). --MASEM (t) 16:24, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
