Sinister: White Horses? Andy Arnette (aarnette@vt.edu) Mon, 16 Feb 1998 18:49:54 +0500

Got A Question... On a tape of 'Tigermilk' that I recently borrowed from a friend there is a song at the end with Isobel singing something about White Horses. Does anybody know what this song is? My friend claims it's a cover but is anyone familiar with the original? I don't have a clue but any help would be greatly appreciated.

um, that'll be my fault... 8) no, the song on the end of that tape is 'white horses' by Jacky (and i know, i put it there!). it was a hit in the late 60s and is a theme tune to a kids' tv show about, duh!, white horses that aired in the early 70s on bbc tv, saturday mornings before whatever 'live and kicking' was called in those days. the only thing i remember about it was that it was dubbed into english and, vaguely, the title sequence. the only other thing i know she did was a version of the theme tune to 'rupert the bear' (which has also been covered by lush). i'd been looking for that for ages when it turned up on one of those tv theme compilations a few years ago. would make a wonderful thing for b&s to cover cos all the classic elements are already there, the voice, the melody and those mournful trumpets... must send a tape of it to the band... 8) andy where the clouds are made of candy floss... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
