One of the knock on effects of the popularity of indie music around the mid-00s was opening the door to pop music with instruments in the Top 40, or if you prefer Pop Rock music.
One of the big beneficiaries of this was Scouting For Girls. They made their Top 40 debut in 2007 with "It's Not About You", but it was their 2nd and 3rd hits "She's So Lovely" and "Elvis Ain't Dead" that had the big impact on the charts.
This was Top 40 hit number 5 for them. The desire to be James Bond in the lyrics perhaps added fuel to their name "Scouting For Girls". It had been 18 months since they made their debut and over a year since their debut album on which this appears was released.
They would have their biggest hit 2 years later when they topped the charts with "This Ain’t A Love Song".
