A cross between "Candidate" and "We Are the Dead".

But with very silly vocals.

Appealing solo accompanied by some sort of duck.

Good instrumental break.

And a touch of "When You Rock n' Roll With Me".

Cardiacs vocals. I guess that's the Cockneyshire influence.

The only bit of the album that's sounded like the Boomtown Rats.

by Butterfield Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:29 pm

Two more minutes left of this song?!

by Nightjar Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:30 pm

A lot of these songs are seriously overlong.

The more I think about it, this is really trying to be like Bovvie.

by Butterfield Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:30 pm

I think I can hear Tina Charles wailing in the background.

Usually, lots of bits of their albums sound like the Boomtown Rats.

This is actually perfectly fine for a song.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:31 pm

Same outer space keyboard thing you hear on Venus and Mars Reprise.

by Nightjar Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:31 pm

That chanting bit was like that Bovvie bit from TMWSTW.

"Oh, by jingo!".

by Butterfield Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:31 pm

Ultra long fade out.

by Butterfield Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:31 pm

Coming back in again!

by Nightjar Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:31 pm

Getting louder.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:31 pm

Track 8 - 49th Parallel.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:31 pm

Epic.
