Sorry mate but i think their first single was Electricity. Top tune though.

Good tune Electricity, and it was their first single released about 35 years back.

 

[Driver8]

A better track than whole lotta love, due to Bonzo's drumming. IMO, like.

Led Zeppelin never released a single in the UK.

I had it on Factory records, sold it for £46

 

[El Presidente]

George Formby

Put my ladder up to the convent flat
I saw a nun with a bear trapper's hat
I get a **** out of things like that
When I'm cleaning windows

It was all downhill after that.

 

[Mackenzie]

Killing An Arab

Wasn't A Forest first?....if so this:

If not....your one.



EDIT: it was Killing an Arab, but any excuse to hear A Forest.

 

[El Presidente]

That's £45 more than New Order sold Factory records for.

Did you buy it when it came out for 50p?

I remember a good friend buying it when it came out, I'd never heard of them before that but I liked it straight away.

It's better than The Love Cats, but no if I think about it, Another Day, 1015 and A Forest are there

"10.15 Saturday Night"

10.15
Saturday night
And the tap drips
Under the strip light
And I'm sitting
In the kitchen sink
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip

Waiting
For the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering
Where she's been
And I'm crying
For yesterday
And the tap drips
Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip

It's always the same



Brilliantly miserable. Can't fail to cheer you up!
