I was curious as to people's opinion.

As we all know Certain Romance is a song about the Chav epidemic that is sweeping the British Isles, but I have read some reviews of this song that although the song is about Chavs, it's not anti-chav.

I personal think it is anti-chav, and that the last few lines about not being able to get mad at their friends in the same way references that chav's should be held in more contempt than other people due to their chosen lifestyle, while although his friends do bad stuff, when compared to chav's, "you just can't get angry with them in the same way"

But other reviewers have noted that the last lines of that song, excuse the chav behaviour previously stated, and have the monkeys showing solidarity with the rest of their working class brethren.

I am interested in your opinions as to what the message of this song is.
I'm not interested if you like the monkeys - go troll elsewhere.

Cheers

It turns out North Korea and Iran are not like Doctor Octopus and Magneto at all...
