A tale of left over pasta - The Amusers

Truff knows them.

Ah yes, I think the chords to that were in my old copy of "W S Gilbert's Learn the Banjo in a Week" - you know, the book he wrote before he met Sir Arthur and became an integral part of Gilbert O'Sullivan.

I remember the two of us busking in Covent Garden...our party peice being:

"Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight"


Finishing our set with that rock anthem:

"Who put the bop in the bop-shu-bop-shu-bop"

Was it your idea to call ourselves the "Stubby Kaye and Nat King Cole Wandering Minstrels from 'Cat Ballou' Tribute Band, but without Jane Fonda"? Was it any surprise that by the time we'd introduced ourselves everyone has gone home...? :down:

It took ages to get all that shoe polish off again as well...

Anything by Black Science Orchestra who are vastly underrated. Their album Walter's Room on Junior Boys Own is a masterpiece. Also check out the anthemic New Jersey Deep and Headspace Lullaby by them. Fantastic band.

If you remember we were managed by Louis Walsh and he chose the name. I wanted us to be called 'the Busking Wankers'.

Theres a dreamy ball thats floating down / and we've all got a thirst to quench
Thats one of the worst lyrics I've ever seen.
Its right down there with "I'm serious as cancer when I say rythm is a dancer".

I saw Toyah live in the same week that "It'th a mythtewy" entered the charts (a fact I remember because she happened to mention it at the time - you could visibly see her head swelling...). Thus making me among the last people to see her when she was halfway decent...

Must have seen her about the same week as you, at the Nashville Rooms where the support band were Medway novelty band The Late Show. Toyah had always been mutton dressed as pork and NEVER seemed to be anything other than an actress pretending to be a pop star, but she suddenly turned up with this really expensive crap bobbed haircut and all airs and graces and big production light show, meaning she was suddenly taking it that much more seriously. She was still shite, mind. Obviously :lol:

"They play their records very loud
They pogo in the bedroom
In front of the mirror
But only when their mum's gone out"

They pay five pence on the buses / And they never use toothpaste / But they got two fifty / To go and see the Clash tonight'

I'd fogotten that the band consisted of Nicholas Parsons and Russell Harty - great stuff.
