yeah, I can see that. I never thought of it, but I think you're correct.
I wonder if NC is an influence.

Erik;
That F-ed Up song hung on me like a horrible stench ever since I listened to it. Just this morning as I was having breakfast did I remember the words to the original song. You got me! Now I am laughing at myself as well.
I got a brand new pair of roller skates- that song sucks.

Thank you and have a nicer day. Good job on that. S.A.;)

If you're still refering to Tim Buckley I doubt it. If memory serves me correct he drowned before NC started music. In fact the Buckley both Tim his dad and Jeff could be one of the saddest oddist in music. HIs dad was an avantgarde folk singer with some incredible stuff (dolphins in the sea is my fav and this weeks pick) but he died of a herion overdose I belive and Tim drowned. He walke out into the ocean then got caught in a rip tide_I can't recall if they ever found his body.

no, we were talking about Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip.

but yes, the Buckley's were very talented and doomed. Jeff Buckley's Grace is one of my favourite cds of the '90's. he drowned in a river in Memphis while recording songs for My Sweetheart the Drunk.

Believe me, I know how you feel. This is the kind of song that literally "sticks" in your head whether you like it or not.
Just like a bad smell.

Strange thing: I originally heard "Combine Harvester" while tuned in to Radio Luxembourg on a squeeky AM channel years & years & years ago.
I never bought the record, but it always stayed with me, in my head, for free. It struck a chord you might say.

I used to listen to Radio Lux a lot. It was all we had in the 70s, over here in Norway - how times have changed!
I didn't know the name of the song, or the band, just the hilarious lyrics:
"You're a fine looking woman, and I can't wait to get my hands on your land!"
Lots of other sexual hints in this song as well, like:
"I drove my tractor thru your haystack last night".
Now what does he REALLY mean?

Anyway, in recent years I've started looking up this type of song again. You know: the ones you have in your head but can't pin down with a name. The internet has made it possible to dig these ancient memories out of myth and back into reality. Its quite an interesting process. All you need is one of the words in the title and hey presto: the song has a name.

Anyway: now this song is stuck in your brain too!

PS: I like the singer's face at the start of the video. He's serious and concentrated for a few seconds, before the song starts.
Humor is hard, serious work. And then he shakes his head and turns on the charm - it looks so easy.

Some nice words in there as well:
- "ooo argh ooo argh"
- "scrumpy?" - sounds scrumptious!
- "gallivanting?" new one for me!
And the use of dialect is well done.

No doubt, there's a lot of talent and hard work behind this seemingly forgetable ditty.
And it beats Melanie's original "Brand New Key" by a light years.

If you ask me that is. :rolleyes:

It's that Southern Hemisphere. Their water spins the other way and so does everything else.

I went on medication to get off that -tie me kangaroo down- fucking song years ago. I think I need to go to urgent care.
Hahahahahahaha!

The Beats Farmers do a beautiful version of it as well.
