Stuart has Jonesy ever had Bambi Lake on?
Not that i can remember.
He played a song on Friday's show with Sandler; it had a psychedelic sound and Jonesy said it was about 'poppies'. I think he said the band was the Stranglers, but I it doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of theirs. Do you know what song/what band it was?
It was the Stranglers "Golden Brown"
Wikipedia article; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Brown
"The band claimed that the song's lyrics were akin to an aural Rorschach test and that people only heard in it what they wanted to hear, although this did not prevent persistent allegations that the lyrics were about heroin. "
"However, even as of 2004, the Irish Today FM radio station will always play this track as a substitute for The Stranglers' "Skin Deep", which is more obviously about heroin usage"
Hugh Cornwall in his book about Stranglers lyrics "Song by Song." said that the song was about heroin but also other things too. Burnel blew the gaff on that one saying that the song was about heroin and thus stopped the band having a Number one.
Cornwell says that it was also about a girl of Mediterranean origin with golden brown skin who he was involved with too.
The same lyrical comparison had been used by Cornwell to a girl being like a vessel in Toiler on the Sea.
JJ. Burnel used to wind up journalists who the Stranglers had a particularly bad relationship with by saying that Golden Brown was in fact about toast.
The Stranglers possibly were and are the most evolved and experimental of all the bands that were labelled "punk."
Don't bring Harry.
