"Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin by"

The Fun Lovin' Criminals had a big hit with "Scooby Snacks" back in the mid 1990s, which landed them an opening spot on U2's bloated Pop Tour in 1997. One year later, back with a new album 100% Columbian, the boys spent a little time with Ian McCulloch of Echo & The Bunnymen. FLC appeared on Echo's 1997 album What are You Going to Do with Your Life? and McCulloch lent his golden pipes to a cover of Frank Sinatra's classic "The Summer Wind", the b-side to 1998's "Big Night Out". Tell me Mac is not the Sinatra of our times. Go ahead I dare you.
