"Please Stand Up" was the second single from British Sea Power 's second album '' Open Season ''. It heralded a far more mainstream, pop-oriented and produced sound for the band. Despite predictions of it being a crossover hit, it failed to grab the attention of the public and was not popular with many of the band's fans. The video was much more commercialised than the band's normal, homemade, efforts with Super 8 film but was banned by MTV in the United States for including the line ''A little excitement makes us wetter wetter''. The band have said that they were disillusioned by the response to the track and plan to branch off in a different direction on future releases.
