'But it's not fucking NICO!' they all scream as one, ramming B&Q pitchforks into your rear defenses and calling your Mum very rude names. Well, no, it's not Nico, obviously, but it is Debsey. And whether you love it or hate it, you have to admire the sheer audacity and/or bravery and/or stupidity (you can take your pick) for daring to even interpret such a seminal tune as this, way back in 1978 of all times. I absolutely love this Captain-Sensible-Approved version, personally, and would attempt to boldly counter those £34.98 pitchforks with a full bathtub of burning oil and a moderate insult or two about your little brother's girlfriend. She really does have false coloured eyes, by the way. And she tried to snog me that New Year's eve, you know, the one where you collapsed at 11pm because you drank far too much Bacardi and coke (with ice). You need to deal with it, bro. I know she told you all about it the next day, without much spin.

It's not a bad version.
ReplyDeleteBacardi and coke (with ice) will do that to you.
tee hee. I like the version by The Flatmates, also.
ReplyDeleteDoes this working sociologist write in code?
ReplyDeleteIt's good code, mind. Playfully rococo.
Can we have 'Point Hope' by Intastella on next please? We're so overdue an almost-twee Madchester cul-de-sac revival.
Och yes. Bacardi and coke. With ice. I mean, isn't it always about that first date with Susan?.
ReplyDeleteGood shout. The Flatmates also rule, true. But given the option, I'll take the Dolly Mixture, ahem, 'tuning'.
Code? Me? Always. As for Intastella: more chance of hearing World of Twist from that era, I reckon. This TUNE! was one of the best singles of the time!
No, it wasn't Colin!
ReplyDeleteDebsey rules! A track by her old band Birdie has just been released on The Hangover Lounge's second ep:
