This tune is a tale of a run-in with a bouncer – or door supervisor – and thus fits in perfectly with our remit here at Songs About Security HQ.
Sure, it’s not the most flattering of portrayals of security officers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the so-called ‘totalitarian’ bouncer was working sans SIA licence.
On a side note, for such a decent band, it’s a shame the Arctic Monkeys chose such an awful name. Ah well. Enjoy the video – it’s live at Glastonbury, don’t you know.
