Only 9 responses you need to Simply Red’s ‘top 5 coolest cultures’ on Earth

Mick Hucknall’s Simply Red – no, stick with us – was trending on Twitter today after the band’s official Twitter feed shared its ‘top 5 coolest cultures on planet Earth’.

And if the aim was to get Mick Hucknall, sorry, Simply Red talked about, then they certainly succeeded. Just not in the way, presumably, they were hoping.
