Joe - Ain't Nothin' Like Me

It's Joe! Ain't nothin' like him. Ain't nothin' like Joe. Look at him. Look at Joe. Look at his huge face adorning the cover of this album. That's Joe's big face, that is.

You'd think that Joe was too common a name to let you remove your surname, but maybe not. I can't think of a great many Joes off the top of my head. Joe Pesci, Joe Mangle, Jo Brand. So I say good luck to him. Good luck to Joe.

Track five is called 'Go Hard'. What's your opinion? Is that likely to be rude or not. My feeling is that it probably is, but there's always the possibility that he's on about doing things TO THE MAX. A sort of 'no half measures' kind of statement: Go hard.

Alternatively, it might be the cricketing maxim that if you're going to take a swing at a ball you shouldn't really be swinging at, at least do it with conviction. That way, even if you edge it, the ball might be travelling too quickly to be caught. 'If you're going to go, go hard,' they say.

If not, who's he saying 'Go Hard' to? His mate?
