It charted at number 49 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] BackgroundThough not a hit at first, it amassed airplay over time and has become one of the band's definitive singles. Two different videos were produced for the song, one on rotation in the UK and the other created for the American market. The cover art features a seventies photo of German model Veruschka body-painted with a man's suit.[2] Critical receptionIn a retrospective review of the song, Troy Carpenter of AllMusic wrote: "'The Drowners' itself is a raucous anthem, lassoed by Bernard Butler's punctuated guitar riff. Singer Brett Anderson's ambiguous lyrics ("We kiss in his room/to a popular tune") and high-pitched croon recall Bowie's most theatrical moments, but in a different musical setting."[3] It garnered much acclaim from NME and Melody Maker, who both voted the song single of the year.[4] In 2014, NME ranked the song at number 104 in its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[5] "The Drowners" was placed at number 40 in a 2016 poll of "The 100 Greatest Alternative Singles of the '90s" by music site PopMatters.[6] Cover versionsThe song was covered by Bristol space rock band Flying Saucer Attack. B-side "My Insatiable One", was covered by Morrissey during his 1992 world tour.[7] The song was covered in concert by the Manic Street Preachers with Bernard Butler guesting - a recording was released as a b-side to their single "She Is Suffering" in late 1994.
