Today it's Mozza holding court on the pernicious duality of love and it's oft times fine distinction from hate...(stick with it, the sound evens out after a few seconds into a great version):
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head
Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed
^ Yes that is a great version but for Vicar in a Tutu I'll take the most excellent Rank album version. (Brilliantly hilarious yet sad but true lyrics) Morrissey is a living sign people !
I was minding my business
I was lifting some lead off
The roof of the Holy Name church
It was worthwhile living a laughable life
Just to set my eyes on the blistering sight
Of a vicar in a tutu
He's not strange
He just wants to live his life this way
A scanty bit of a thing
With a decorative ring
That wouldn't cover the head of a child
As Rose collects the money in a canister
Who comes sliding down the banister ?
The vicar in a tutu
He's not strange
He just wants to live his life this way
The monkish monsignor
With a head full of plaster
Said : "My man, get your vile soul dry-cleaned"
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
As natural as Rain
He dances again
My god !
The vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh ...
The vicar in a tutu
Oh yeah
Oh ...
The next day in the pulpit
With Freedom and Ease
Combatting ignorance, dust, and disease
As Rose counts the money in the cannister
As natural as Rain
He dances again and again and again
In the fabric of a tutu
Any man could get used to
And I am the living sign
And I'm a living sign
I am a living sign
I'm a living sign
I am a living sign
I'm a living sign
Sign ...
I am a living sign
I agree TDC; VIATT was only incidental to BSA in the clip...I adore the fluidity of Mozza's voice as he protracts the "living sign" refrain over a seemingly inexpendable single, sustained breath...absolutely brilliant.
I bought Marr's remastered box about 6 weeks ago and, with conservative estimation, I must have logged at least 10 complete listens to Bombs and Rank each...I can't remember ever being seduced this immediately by any music short of the Dead (and that's among a lofty list of favored bands like Floyd, CSN(Y), the Doors, Zepp, REM, Dylan, the Beatles, Jimi...).
Traveling just a few limbs down the family tree, I'm percolating into a punk craze after receiving - and listening twice already to - the pistol's Spunk yesterday. After receiving an Amazon gift card, early this evening I filled my cart with
and
Lucidity got the better of me and I bailed for sober reflection in the morning. If nothing else, I'll simply have to add this one to the ipod library soon:
Okay, kidz...though better known for popular anthems like Anarchy, Submission, and God Save, THIS might well be the paramount performance of punk's epic banner song, No Fun - a magnificent capsulization of slacker ennui and hooligan violence.
Listen carefully: Rotten starts out roaring with full voice and rolling Rs...but, after sacrificing mind, body, and soul at the altar, he is left hoarse, staggering, and breathless at the conclusion almost 7 minutes later...absolutely brilliant. I received this release on Monday afternoon and just completed my 5th full listen today. Unbelievable. Paradigmatic. I could easily exhaust my reservoir of superlatives on this one!/K

Agree with everything you say here
My favourite Pistols song is Pretty Vacant and to hear Rotten spitting out 'and we don't care' with real vitriol is just priceless
Okay Flamme, enough of the philanthropic anthems - d'ya think we just observed a major religious holiday or something? But, if you demand an inspirational hymn, then here goes....
My youngest son is nearly 16 and going through that phase known as 'girls '
So for him now and for all teenagers everywhere one of the greatest pop/ punk songs ever
Teenage Kicks by the Undertones
I love Van Morrison. Too bad there's only the first part of the song.
This is a beautiful but little known bossa from the italian composer Manuel DeSica (Vittorio's son)
Shango - My beloved R.E.M. were notorious cover whores in the early years, during which they performed a few strong versions of FF...for those interested, a solid rendition can be found on the Reckoning Deluxe Edition/Live set disc.../Katie
