It's not often that a song is released and becomes an instant classic. It's even rarer when the song is one released by The Fingolstones Firemen. 
It's fair to say that throughout their long and (un)distinguished career that the Fingolstones have not exactly set the world on fire. Their tunes have been described as "dull", "derivative", "dreadfuL", "tuneless" and mostly as "shite".
However occasionally, very occasionally they'll poop out of their creative backsides a song that captures all that they are and all that they represent and so it was with "We All Love Chez Vegas". 

"We All Love Chez Vegas" is a love letter to the lads home town. It is their "London Calling", "Viva Las Vegas", "Detroit Rock City" and "New York New York" all rolled into a juicy ball of nostalgia and warm fuzzy feelings of a time gone by.
There's the memories of the places that shaped their youth such as "The Bradbury Club", "Moulin Rouge" and "Aquarius". All nightclubs famous across the land (of North East Derbyshire). There's the characters that shaped friendships "Bunny", "Bentley Boy", "Chippie", "Bucko", "Nessie" and many more. 
There are tales of notable events and adventures, Lawsons car crash and Daz Jolleys own goals being two prime examples.
There's even romance in there "Jonah filling Beefs hole".

It is to the Fingolstones what the Iliad was to Homer (Simpson), the Saga was to the Vikings (not the holidays Foxy goes on) an epic tale to be passed down through the centuries so that the generations to come could know what life was like back in the 1980's and 90's. 

It gained a cult following and proved quite popular amongst the local Glitterati. Uber fan Paul "Goffy" Gofton was corned inside Ladbrokes after placing his regular Saturday 10 match accumulator and had this to say. "Won't you people just leave me alone, can't you see I'm trying to decide whether Barnsley will score 2 or more goals against Luton. Oh Ok yes I suppose We All Love Chez Vegas is OK, but that's like saying Stalin was OK compared to Hitler. Now sod off before I shove this little pen up your nose"

Chez Vegas by night. A glorious sight.

Due to the immense popularity of the song the band released a video which debuted on MTV in January  2011. It was voted 1,236,359th most popular video of 2011. Click on the picture above and see why.
