Ah, so that is what Morrissey meant about burning down the disco. It makes complete and perfect sense.Heston wrote:Heard it tonight at 120 decibels in the club. The crowd of disco dancers went apeshit. I tried to protest over the music that it was a allegorical critique of the late 80's music scene. No one listened, they just danced.

Heard today on the car radio at 2.54 pm. I'm gonna start noting every time I hear it. I request others do the same and I can draw up some kind of graph at a later date.

I'll do that, but I'm worried that these graphs are going to end up in some kind of evidence bunker.Heston wrote:Heard today on the car radio at 2.54 pm. I'm gonna start noting every time I hear it. I request others do the same and I can draw up some kind of graph at a later date.

I heard it a lot in the mid-80s, not coincidentally around the same time that I concluded there is no force for hope and good in the universe.Heston wrote:Heard today on the car radio at 2.54 pm.

I heard it playing in Nando's about a month ago. I was taking a shit at the time which worked for me.

The time between entering a Nando's and then doing a horribly relieving shit is always pretty minimal.Marky Dread wrote:I heard it playing in Nando's about a month ago. I was taking a shit at the time which worked for me.

I'm sure I could hear someone humming the song in the next cubicle and mumbling something about "is that an A minor or A major 7th in the first line". As I was flushing I could hear a victorious voice say "well it's a naturally occurring diatonic nondominant seventh chord in the harmonic minor scale either way". I left the toilets quickly and informed the manager he may have a madman in the building.Dr. Medulla wrote:Just be glad that Heston wasn't in the stall next to you misinterpreting its significance.Marky Dread wrote:If I remember it worked it's way out of my system very quickly and was just as easily forgettable.Dr. Medulla wrote:Was it a subversive shit?Marky Dread wrote:I heard it playing in Nando's about a month ago.
