Born In Great Britain

Badly Drawn Boy - Born In The UKThe Holloways - So This Is Great Britain?

So I've acquired both these two albums recently (the latter particularly for review purposes only) and was giving them a first listen when something jumped out. Born In The U.K., after its brief talky intro, starts for real with a blast of the first few notes of "Land Of Hope And Glory". And So This Is Great Britain? starts with... yes, a blast of the first few notes of "Land Of Hope And Glory". And they come out within a week of each other. It would be hilarious even if it wasn't kind of a lame idea for either one of them to begin with.
