I was driving down by the banks of the Loch today and to my surprise I saw Bryan Ferry gliding along the silken waters of Loch Ness on a gondola. He was crooning away to a female a funky version of Bobby Picket & The Crypt Kickers 1973 classic, "The Monster Mash". I spotted a camera crew on the shore and of course I had to stop and make enquires.It turns out that he is doing a duet, like his names sake of the Adams variety, with a spice girl. Bryan Ferry featuring Scary Spice. This was Bryan & Mel on location recording the video to his new double A-side single The Monster Mash c/w Ghostdancing (The Simple Minds Song). Bryan is seen wearing Antony Price yellow polka dot swimming trunks as he wrestles with Nessie, in a Tarzan/Crocidile type joust, to save his damsel in distress, Scary Spice. Just as it gets to the point when you think Nessie is going to get the better of our hero, Scary stands up in the Gondola and pouts one of her famous ferocious poses and scares the monster away. The single is to be released on Bryan's own lable OSFOP Records. The catalouge No is K1D 0N and is sure to be a worldwide smash due to the publicity that it will get because the real Nessie makes a rare cameo experience. She hasn't been caught on film since 1968 and a spokesman for the Inverness Tourist Board says that this is going to bring a flood of tourists to the area this summer. A plaque is to be erected in Bryan's honour on the side of Urquart castle. Bryan is to do a promotional tour for this single taking in Transylvania & The Egyptian Pyramids with his new manager Frank Stein and he is to be sponsored by Hammer House. He will be doing some live caberet at Bates Motel, & Amyttyville House and headlining the Elm Street festival this summer. Bryan gave me two signed copies of the single, one signed to me and the other to Mr Flangerbracket, so if you would like to send me your address, I will gladly send it to you.

At first I didn't believe it, but then it all made sense. I told my ex-wife about this when I got the kids today. She's a huge Bryan fan and the kids love the Spice Girls. We haven't felt so connected in years. We're thinking of getting back together, it must be a sign. I just got off of a conference call with the senior VP's at my job, these guys are Loch Ness Monster freaks! They are ecstatic. They have already promised me more money with less hours and less responsibility just because I got the scoop. This is the best day of my life.
