Mel Hutchwright Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 A few days back I discovered that the shouts of "guilty!" on Erasure's wonderful Drama! single were performed by none other than The Jesus And Mary Chain. This newfound knowledge has not only made me a happier man but, I would argue, also a better one. Here's the video, although, regrettably, neither Jim or William Reid make an appearance... Anyway, fascinating music trivia, you must share some for pity's sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Probably quite well-known, but the chap singing "I want my MTV" at the beginning of Money For Nothing by Dire Straits is none other than Sting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I thought it was odd that the room where the manics are sitting in the gats sleeve is the same one in morrisseys ouija board video, both were recorded at the same studio. So not really very interesting. Moving on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The story behind Queen's Don't Stop Me Now does not much delight me as disturb me. It's still very informative, however. I'd suggest looking it up if you're unaware of the details. I'm unable to provide them as this late hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 If Baker St comes on the jukie in a pub rest assured you'll still get get some auld p***k at the bar giving it "Mind that programme Blockbusters? Mind the guy that hosted it? Well...." The ones I know just pretend to play the sax. I knew a few that played piano on the bar as well. Multi-talented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Hutchwright Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Steve Evets, the actor who played the lead role in Ken Loach's Looking For Eric, played bass in The Fall. Given that roughly 46% of people from the Manchester area can claim to be ex-Fall members, this is a deeply underwhelming piece of information. I really shouldn't bother even posting this to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's well known, but for those who don't: Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson moonlights as a commercial airline pilot. He also flew the rest of the band, crew etc on their own jet touring the world. He flew Rangers to one of their European away games a few years ago. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/6354785.stm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Probably quite well-known, but the chap singing "I want my MTV" at the beginning of Money For Nothing by Dire Straits is none other than Sting. Until now I always thought it was "I want my own TV". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 1) The guy singing "fame" in the background of the David Bowie hit is John Lennon. Maybe everyone knows that, I didn't until recently. 2) The most popular song of all time is Blurred Lines. Yep, Blurred Lines. 3) Darude - Sandstorm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the song is about a rocket and a tiger and it going into space!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
