"Weirdo" arrived on 24 February 1992 as the first single from Between 10th and 11th, the Charlatans' second album, and it's the Madchester sound with its eyes wide open. Rob Collins's keyboard does the heavy lifting, a woozy, churning groove that snakes around Martin Blunt's bass and Jon Brookes's drums, while Mark Collins's guitar flickers at the edges and Tim Burgess drifts above it all.

Blunt, Brookes, Burgess and Rob Collins wrote it, and Flood produced and mixed it with a heavy, hazy sheen. It became the band's biggest single in the US, topping Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in May 1992.
