MusicWIMB: What's the song where the slightly shouty chorus says

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

"Put your hand up boy, when you talk to me".

Oh, and it starts with "This old man I write about" .. I think.

I've tried google and it just bombards me with some tiresome Grime track with a similar lyric.

Belly. Feed The Tree.

1993 f'fuxake! That's the trouble with 6 Music. They don't tell you that a song is 25 years old and you go running off and telling people you've discovered a great new song and they say "oh.. must be a cover cos that song was out when I was a kid" :-(

And I misheard .. it's "take your hat off boy when you talk to me" ...

Yes. Discovering how long ago stuff happened is one of the most vertigo-inducing aspects of ageing. A song you still think of as modern turning out to have been written a quarter of a century ago is really quite upsetting.

I was fine .. until you just pointed out that 25 years is indeed a quarter of a century. Now I feel old and very very mortal. Hold me b :cry:

Someone ought to invent a smartphone app that identifies songs imo...

When you're talking to me"

Just poppin in to say that if that cùnt Peter sees you putting in a good word for the fine Tanya Donnelly he'll be an obnoxious cùnt about it.

When you've finished enjoying that song, and the other fine songs on the album Star (especially Slow Dog), and some of Tanya's excellent post-Belly solo work, then be sure to feast your ears upon the Throwing Muses, the band she formed back in about 1982 with her step-sister the amazing Kristin Hersh. I had the honour of seeing them on stage together again the other year at the Islington Assembly Hall.

Yes. I get this with Stereolab. I remember them from the early/mid-90s and having a massive crush on Laetitia Sadier.

Then I see a recent picture of her and she looks like someone’s nan:-(

More like Peter Beardsley. She really ought to shoot her hairdresser.

[Ash]

:sigh:

I give up.

What of Bonnie Raitt? Bruce thinks she's ace.

[Sir C]

What of Bonnie Raitt? Bruce thinks she's ace.

I just can't deal with it. An axe is a man's weapon. That's just nature.

And don't get me started on women 'drumming'. That's an offence in the eyes of God.

[Sir C]

:sigh:

I give up.

I don't mean it in a sexist way as you know, a. And I'm perfectly happy for the ladies to play acoustic guitars.

It's the idea of a woman strapping on the axe which makes me uncomfortable.

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Thank you Ash. I surely will scrutinise this music of which you speak.

[Burney]

Obligatory Moe Tucker reference.

Your use of the term 'strapping on' tells us a lot here, I feel.

[Sir C]

Obligatory Moe Tucker reference.

Yes. As I say, 'drumming'.

[Burney]

Yes. As I say, 'drumming'.

There was thon Sheila E out of Prince's band. She dressed all sexy but wasn't due to all the drumming. :-(

yeah I don't like it either.

Especially when they can shred the tits off of you eh?

Ha ha! That obnoxious **** (me) was at the same gig as you :)

How you doing, Ash? :)

Whence comes this bad blood blood betwixt thee, p?

I abhor disharmony, as you know. :-(

I am afraid you will have to ask him. I know not what troubles he, only that it ends with me.
