@jaxxon yes we used to sing that too. @AlicejustMay another fave in our family home. Really reminds me of my brother. There's no one driving....and here's Gary Numan !
@jaxxon@tijuana_brass Well thanks a lot, you too - now that's all I can hear too! Which consequently makes me think of the Abba song Chiquitita, whose lyrics - "You'll be dancing again and the pain will end" sounded to me just like "You'll be dancing once again like a painted hen".
Oooh, might be time to re-watch some Mighty Boosh! @AlicejustMay@abigail.deeks is quite right, a must watch—it's quite mental. Not that I'm saying anything about you...
@AlicejustMay we are all with The Mighty, go see - and also Flight of the Concords. Re John Foxx - Not to worry, I found it on youtube, plus got to my laptop and it all worked fine. Sorry if it sounded :/ but brother still here hurrah! Just I hardly ever see him, and every time we do meet this song is mentioned (I kid you not).
When I was studying art at Leeds Polytechnic, Dennis Leigh, (his real name) was a part-time art tutor. He was a lovely guy. I believe he later became a full time head of department for some time there while he was in retirement from music. It's good he's now back recording and touring. A few years ago I saw him give a talk and play live his ambient style music accompanying old films he'd edited together at the Duke of Yorks Cinema in Brighton. A very talented man, who enjoys a pint of beer.

Very much underrated. For me an iconic song!

I always liked to think he was singing 'Underpants!' *snigger*

@Bukowski Never really watched The Mighty Boosh... might have to now :)
AlicejustMay
@PartyTearsFew What a shame you can't play it - especially as it evokes - I'm guessing - happy thoughts of your brother?
AlicejustMay
@dutchzaphod Iconic indeed. Think he went back to being a graphic designer.

@petersheldon @carl66 Glad you like! :)

@AlicejustMay He's still at it! Rhapsody is an album recorded live in the studio by John Foxx And The Maths (2013). http://youtu.be/wm-wPmE0Ju4

AlicejustMay
@fsohail I think 'mental' would be a fair comment...
fsohail
@AlicejustMay I didn't want to presume…but I had my suspicions ;-D
AlicejustMay
@fsohail Ha! I knew it, you blighter.
fsohail
@AlicejustMay You LOVE it!
AlicejustMay
@fsohail You're a very cheeky monkey.

It's odd, and quite a bit unfair, how little attention he gets by the retro-electronica acts today...
