I just have to ask. I have only heard one song of theirs (and we all know which one I am referring to) and I was curious as to if that track is indicative of all their work?

Have heard good things about them but haven't heard any of their music myself yet. [/b]Hmm, Dexys, probably not, each of their three albums sound pretty different to me. "Don't Stand Me Down" (after the comedown from that "one song") is their best. If you want stuff that sounds like "that song" maybe start with "Too Rye Ay", from which it hails.
For the Lips, I would begin with "The Soft Bulletin" or "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots". Both are beautiful, have incredible humour and are terribly moving in places.
