Blunt sense of humour...

Bryan Burnett | 17:30 UK time, Tuesday, 15 July 2008

Jmaes.jpgJust read an article on the Guardian about Fiest doing "1,2,3" on Sesame Street which also includes a brilliant clip of proving he has a sense of humour by turning his biggest hit into a tribute to a beloved lost 'triangle'. I can't make up my mind about the best line in the song. It's either "This shape was brilliant, this shape was pure, I saw three angles of that I'm sure" or " I saw your shape in a crowded place". Well worth a watch...

    Hi Bryan, not posted before but heard what your topic for Wednesday was and thought I would offer 'Now I'm Here' by Queen. The single got to number 11 and namechecks Mott the Hoople with line ' down in the city, just Hoople and me'. Brian May would have written this song round about the time when Mott the Hoople invited Queen to support them on tour in 73/74ish.

    Off the top of my head only other deliberate mentions of other artists in Queen songs would be at the end of 'Drowse' on A Day At the Races as the music fades Roger Taylor mentions Jimi Hendrix. Can't think of any others but I'm sure as soon as I submit this more will come to me.

    Hi Brian, Did I hear that fruit is coming on? Been waiting for a chance to get Al Stewart's 'A small fruit song' on the programme for a while. (Just found the Blog.) While we are at the fruit suggestions, how about David Essex, Oh! What a Citrus or anything by Moby Grape?
    You keep the distance home from Aberdeen very short. Sometimes I have to drive slower. Keep it up. Sam
