Musical 'F*** my Hat, I didn't know that!'

Revealed on this week's episode of The Head Ballet podcast featuring one time CaB regular Braintree as the guest: Destiny's Child's first foray into the UK pop charts was as backing singers on a Hall and Oates cover by Coronation Street actor Matthew Marsden.

I wonder if Beyonce still puts that on her CV.

Tom 'Inspiral' Hingley's dad, Ronald, was a renowned translator of Russian and an Oxford don. If you've read any Chekhov, Dostoyevsky, Pasternak or Solzhenitsyn you're likely to have read one of his translations.

Not quite true, they'd got to #5 earlier that year with No No No.

I was going to reply - "Yes, that sounds like a gag when you first hear it, like when Lenny Henry jokes that his real name is Lenworth" - but then I went to wiki and Lenny Henry's first name really is Lenworth.  Hat Fucked².

I've fucked several people's hats with the Willard Smith fact.

Worth a link to the song, since it's brilliant and only has a few hundred youtube views:

Produced by Bernard Butler btw, who also plays lead guitar on the track.

I think I was a bit surprised when I found that out because his character in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air was called William Smith.

Apologies if this has already been done; Moby is called Moby because he's related to Herman Melville. Well (whale) I never!

Also: he's a dick.

The Damned wrote 'Nasty' specifically for their episode of The Young Ones.

Tonight, I have discovered that a one-off 7" single I purchased and really enjoyed from 2004 by the terribly monikered, Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! was the brainchild of Mark Duplass who has created my favorite horror film franchise of recent times, Creep (2014) and Creep 2 (2017), Creep 3 in the works.

Glad to see another Creep fan!

Not massively hat-fucky, but here's a contribution to the thread: Phil Collins' homelessness hit "Another Day In Paradise" features backing vocals from David Crosby of CSN&Y. Why?!

Love it when rock legends show up as hired gun backing vocals on disparate stuff. How about uber shredder Joe Satriani doing backing vocals on the Crowded House debut album?

Oft-mentioned on here, of course, but such as the Jesus and Mary Chain doing the "guilty!" shouts on Erasure's hit single 'Drama!'

Because Phil was a fan of Crosby (he wanted him to sing on Face Value in 1981 but Crosby was unavailable). They met when Genesis and CS&N appeared in Atlantic's 40th Anniversary concert in New York in 1988 and became friends..

crosby featured on two tracks on '...But Seriously', the other being That's Just The Way It Is. Collins would produce, co-write and duet with Crosby on the track Hero from Crosby's 1993 album Thousand Roads, and in 1994 he paid $3 million for Crosby's liver transplant.

I really like Mark Duplass and the Creep films and I remember the name "Volcano I'm Still Excited" thus therefore, I enjoyed this hat fucked fact a lot!

When P!nk tells us she is coming up so you better get this party started, she's not talking about coming up the stairs. It's about drugs.

[JesusAndYourBush]

Conversely when Rachel Sweet introduces the song "Who Does Lisa Like?" in live appearances and mentions "who's taking what?"(as one of the topics of discussion in the school car park) I realised recently she's referring to school subjects not drugs!

And when Blondie released 'I'm on E' as a b-side to Denis, they weren't talking about the drug, although I don't have a clue what they were talking about. I only know they weren't talking about ecstasy because it was released three years before the name was coined.

Maybe she was dossing round New Jersey, looking for Bruce's mates.

My copy of Denis has Kung Fu Girls and Contact In Red Square on the B-side.

ZZ Top started out as a fake version of The Zombies who their American record company set up to promote a single (Time of the Season) that became a hit after they split up

US release has it, even when ecstasy was known as "E" here in America it was shortened to "X".

Something about being out of action because she got rid of her car and is dead on her feet.

And Blondie's Heart of Glass is about dumping a guy because of his obsession with anal sex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56_tMgR3FXw

Miles Davis' Live/Evil is my most-played album of all time, and one of the reasons for that is the incredible performance of Keith Jarrett, compelled by Miles Davis to play electric piano and organ rather than his usual acoustic piano. So something unique in its way.

Just today I found out that he and Miles' drummer of that time, Jack Dejohnette, found themselves free to record an album, in between dates, and took the same keyboards (clearly, as the electric piano has the same notes out of tune as on Live/Evil, which Jarrett uses as a feature) with them to the studio, which was later mixed by Manfred Eicher and released in 1973. So more of that same uniqueness after almost 50 years of listening to Live/Evil (the complete Cellar Door sessions aside).

"Everybody's waiting for me to arrive", another lyric in the same song, would seem to argue the "up the stairs" thing.

Maybe the singer is the one with the drugs?
