First!
Glad to see you talk about the song – it is a strangely emotional moment, and the key difference with the rest of the music is that a) not Hoppipolla (which apparently is over-used in the show) and b) the first experience of that song to most of the Skins audience. People downloaded it for the first time and the like after that episode.
