Guess The Song

I remember being told off when I was teenager by an old man who said I shouldn't say cinema, I should call it a  picture house. For a while I wondered if cinema had some hidden meaning but  on reflection I think the old man was just being weird.

 

 

Local cinema when I was a boy was called The Picture House.

 

Just an old name for one I think.

Same with a device for receiving transmitted sound:

GrandaBob - Crystal Set

OldWillz - Wireless

Older Friends - Radio

Me - Transistor or Tranny (latter has a very different attachment now!)

 

And so on...

The local cinema was an art deco building called Essoldo but known locally as 'the fleapit'. I used to spend about three hours on a Saturday morning watching the Children's Film Foundation's output for the princely sum of a tanner (sixpence, 6d now 2½p ).

It closed down and was turned into a bingo hall before being demolished and replaced with an Aldi supermarket.

The song, released in 2001, samples a 1969 song that topped the Belgian charts

 

In the video the band members are dressed as astronaut

Drawing a complete blank on @YoungWillz's suggestion.

 

Struggling to find a 1969 song that's topped the Belgian chart to start with.

Well, it's easily googleable, but I have no song to follow up, so I won't say it.

 

Anyway, I was suspecting you named your favourite pub band or something like that, only to find out that this album has quite the cult following and critical acclaim. So thank you!

Anyhoo, next one:

 

Song of the 00's from a British band, has a very intricate bass line, music video involves a trashed hotel room.

Ignore that its late 90's, no intricate bassline and not in a hotel room.  Apart from that I was spot on :(

Wow, that was that band with Lauren Laverne in it, wasn't it?!? (no, it's not right, but what a blast from the past!)

 

It's more of a rock/alt band (sorry Willz) than a punk band like Kenickie.

I'd struggle to describe anything by Muse as good....

 

Anyway - Arctic Monkeys covered this gem of the early 2010s with a rather vibrant video.

Whereas I'd rather an Aortic Aneurysm than listen to the Arctic Monkeys for any length of time...

 

D'you mean a cover of a '10s song or an earlier cover done this decade?

Yeah, I mean, I do know it, but it's someone else's turn. All about etiquette, me.

Early sixties UK no.1 that connects Are You Being Served to Open All Hours.

 

This is either really easy or bizarre and obtuse.
