Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour party, has unveiled his ultimate song choice, and it's bringing back all the nostalgic feels. The top tune on his playlist is none other than "My Favourite Dress" by indie band The Wedding Present from Leeds.
A Blast From the Past
If you're wondering how Sir Keir stumbled upon this hidden gem, it turns out that he and The Wedding Present's frontman, David Gedge, were pals during their university days at Leeds University in the 1980s. In fact, they bonded over their shared love for this angsty student anthem.
An Ode to Jealousy and Betrayal
In "My Favourite Dress," which was once a favorite on BBC DJ John Peel's playlist, Gedge pours his heart out about the painful emotions of jealousy and the sting of betrayal. Sir Keir describes it as a three-minute masterpiece that captures the torment of jealousy perfectly.
A Musical Hook to Remember
It seems Sir Keir couldn't resist mentioning the fantastic guitar hook in the song, which undeniably adds a layer of greatness to the overall experience of "My Favourite Dress."

The Lyrics That Resonate
The lyrics of this gripping tune leave a lasting impact, with Gedge singing about the "tender caress that brings out the man" and the intoxicating vulnerability of being able to still be drunk at five. But the most poignant moment comes when he reveals the heart-wrenching image of a stranger's hand on his beloved favorite dress.
It's safe to say that Sir Keir has impeccable taste when it comes to music, and we can't help but wonder what other hidden gems he has in his playlist. But for now, let's all take a moment to appreciate the mesmerizing blend of angst and melody that is "My Favourite Dress."
