what about 'That's Nice' called by Minty? Maybe not totally a list song, but kind of. For those not lucky enough to have heard it, it consisted of a man reading deadpan list of things 'a cup of tea, and a slice of life' which a squarky woman would then declare 'nice'. It was one of those songs that I hated so much that I ended up loving it to bits, like Fake DIY by Bis, and that one by Tiger. Odd how that happens, isn't it? Oh yes, Minty! Their album has been in my CD player since it came out. Sadly
Seb said; they have now split and become part along with the 'even stranger' Off-Set. Meanwhile, their best 'List Song' remains Useless Man, which goes: bootlicking, pissdrinking, fingerfrigging, tit-tweaking, lovebiting, arselicking, shit-stabbing, muthafucking, spunk-loving, ballbusting, cocksucking, fistfucking, lipsmacking, thirstquenching, cool-living, ever-giving useless man. about 25 times. Recognise it? The squarky woman is Nichola Bowery, Widow of performace artist and Minty founder Leigh. I'm so glad I saw them live - a band that can shock even todays audiences really are something (This involves amongst other things, the naked - except for a giant tubey plastic hat - lead singer (i.e. Nichola) pissing into a plastic cup at the end of the set) My fave list song, though, is 'British Children On Smack' by The Yummy Fur which goes "British mums / British dads / Get your children off the smack / And onto something friendlier / Onto something healthier / Like...." and then goes on to list a lot of things. Indecypherably. Several of them involve the word 'prostitute'. Jess said
