I have no idea what became of it.

I definitely don't own it anymore.

I probably smashed it to bits in a fit of rage-shame when I was 15. sad yes

Writing in Record Mirror, Simon Ludgate described the song as "the worst track from the album" with its release "something to do with a strong visual appeal because of the accompanying film clip". He said it "sounds like a latter-day 'Messiah'" and that "Monsters in Disguise" should have been released as a single instead. However, in the same magazine issue, reviewer Gill Pringle said "I'm impressed. Because I'm enjoying this record so much, I've suppressed the cringe that keeps welling up inside of me, everytime I think too hard about the modernistic touch of this record"

Is this 6/8 time?

Or is it 3/4?

Calls The Tune

Back to greasepaint and limelight.

Shades of "Will You?" again.

Sounds like a Wings B-Side. shifty

From what I recall of the film's plot, the initially boisterous songs at the beginning of the album and the slow descent into melancholy and pensive seem to be following suit.

Track 10 - Blackman. shifty
