This is actually too good for just pop music.

I love the "and if by your heart..." or whatever it is bit.

Where's Butterpops when you need him?

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:36 pm

You can almost see Cliff's teeth when he's singing.

This is going to be a strange album isn't it? With each side of it written by a different writer and performed by a different act.

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:37 pm

Vocoder!

Wait till you hear "Dancin".

It is the most brilliantly awful thing ever written.

It's even better in the movie.

Buttertubs only seems to be available in the early hours these days. sad yes

But, hold on; the only people who're only available in the early hours are secret agents.

A "middle eight".

Listen and learn Lucinda.

Last one was boring.

This is more like it!

Track 3 - Dancin'.

With The Tubes. gasp

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:39 pm

I really like this.

I'm not ashamed. box

by Guest Mon May 04, 2020 8:39 pm

Maybe not.

That doesn't seem an obvious choice of band for such a project.

by Guest Mon May 04, 2020 8:40 pm

I feel like I'm missing a big big 70s take on a busby Berkley number here.

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:40 pm

This is monstrous!

One of the worst/most brilliant ideas ever commited to record.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 8:41 pm

What are The Tubes actually doing on this one? I assume they haven't suddenly turned into a Swing band?

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 8:41 pm

It's the Andrews Sisters meets awful US post-punk.

Just wait till the tow intertwine. Excited
