best bit--the part where the keys take off and someone in the background is yelling Worst bit--that ticky sound percentage--78% Xmas--new pc, new 35mm camera, clothes


Sometimes, you know, it's a competition with New Order, who can finish the fooking song last, and I always seem to lose!--Bernard

1. Best? - where it suddenly 'kicks' about 20 secs in. 2. Worst? - the ending. Sounds like New Order were just 'playing' at this point. Bit too messy. Shame it never appeared live too, would've made a great opener. 3. Love/hate? - Love it. One of the best tracks of the Technique era. Was gonna play this at my wedding for 'comedy value' in the title alone. Resisted temptation though. 4. Rating? - 85% 5. Christmas? - New house. Failing that, Sopranos DVDs.

1. Best bit: The harpsicord (?) intro, the synth, Barney's guitar, the vocal sample (especially "The Exorcist" sample at the end). 2. Worst bit: They haven't played it live yet 3. Why love/hate it: Discovered it at a crucial time during my NewOrder education, still can't get enough of it. 4. Rating: 95% 5. A CD deck for my car (which I know I'm getting :clap: ), and some cold, hard cash (which I know I'm getting....almost $50, woo..hoo....:shrug:

1. Best bit: "don't put your finger on the button" "they're going to get you", the synths, the mood! 2. Worst bit: same as everyone else, never played live 3. Why love/hate it: The surprise track that made you forget that you've been "messed around" on Fine Time. 4. Rating: 93% 5. WANT4XMAS: boots, the kind you wear, not the kind you listen to.

1. Best bit: The build up at the end. 2. Worst bit: only a B-Side. 3. Because "Fine Time" was only the second NO single I bought at the time and I loved "Don't Do It" even better than the A-Side, and it reminds me of Christmas, too! 4. 93.5% 5. £550 worth of Qwest promo. (I've been ever so good this year Santa).

Very Underrated!!! Should have been the A-side rather than Fine Time. That track performed better than Fine Time, at least, I can say from my point of view here in the Philippines, when Don't Do It burned the dancefloor more than Fine Time during that time (1989 to early 90s) here.

...don't...put your finger...on the button...

Indeed!

I made a dystopian/ apocalyptic style film for this track at art school, but it was shit. Good track though....
