51) Lip Up Fatty

That's 'Lip Up Fatty' by Peter Miller and the Bobby Chariot Castanet and Spoons Orchestra. I think.

The word "castanet" appears in my 106 page die casting instruction maual. According to the European Union it means "damselfish". They must think I was born yesterday. "The Day Before You Came" by Abba is one of the best songs ever, and not at all cheesy. Every now and then I try to remember to have a bit of a think, and once I thought about how exactly that song works. It's very sad, but it's all kind of unarticulated. Perhaps that's it. Anyway, it's a beautiful song beautifully sung. It sounds like someone about to completely lose their grip and go round the twist. That last sentence may well have been influenced by my reading about Pink Floyd. Huw, it sounds to me as if the music you are looking for is either Pink Floyd's timeless masterpiece "Dark Side of the Moon" or "Bucket T" by The Who, one of the extra tracks on "A Quick One". It certainly set me off daydreaming a few minutes ago. It would make an excellent theme tune for the forthcoming Bobby Chariot television special. Melon Mainprize Family history (NB&SC) (Melon was a canary. He was called Lemon until we realised he wasn't going to go yellow. Mainprize means either "man prised from the sea" (my Aunty Iris's daft theory) or "ransom" (my own sensible, carefully documented theory). Everyone believes Aunty Iris. It's a nice name though, nicer than my own, Chariot). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
