Sinister: mishearings

[Charlotte Hall]

     hello,
     
     I can't believe my eyes - someone has mentioned the Incredible String 
     Band! Completely underrated. I read that they have just reformed and 
     are about to play some gigs, believe it or not.
     
     I must admit the connection is not obvious at first sight... nor at 
     second sight... er, which B&S songs are you thinking of?
     
     B&S mishearings: I thought the line in "My Wandering Days are Over" 
     was "sex my son, de Winter's gone" and was a reference to a priest's 
     hopeless adulation for a black and white film character.
     
     Actually that is a complete and utter lie. But I laughed. (Vacuous 
     Thursday afternoons...)

Hello,
     
I always thought in "Seeing Other People" the words "Your kissing your 
double, your kissing your reflection" were sang instead of "Your kissing 
your elbow etc.".
     
I thought it was about these skinny long hair boys who go to discos and 
get stuck into skinny long hair girls who look the same as them.  And It 
got me thinking is it incredibly vain to be attracted to someone who 
looks like you, or is it worse to think you can do better.
     
I just read that.  I know what I mean.
     
Anyway, the person who said the trumpet from "Dog On Wheels" is like 
"Alone Again Or" by Love is spot on.  It sounds like B & S have tried to 
do the same things with the guitar flurries throughout the song.
     
Stuart Murdoch's voice occasionally reminds me of the Incredible String 
Band.  This is initially what attracted me to B & S.
     
I'm off
     
Chris
