That'd've been me, not so much as a song for Robyn to cover as a song that feels very Hitchcocky to me without being one of his. I'm not sure it would sound right with Robyn singing it though. > Pandora (random generated online radio) is currently playing the > acoustic version of "FPT" (from the "Clueless" soundtrack, of all > frickin' things!) on my "Robyn Hitchcock" channel (right after "I > Wish I Liked You") as a similar-to-RH song that it assumes I'll > like. I did...and, in this version, > it DOES have some bit of an RH factor (yuk, yuk)... The lines "He used to do surgery/for girls in the 80s/but gravity always wins" is the part that really kicks it into RH territory for me. Probably part of why it's still my favorite Rh song. "I'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush. I couldn't figure out what sort of song I would write. That's the problem: I don't want to satirize George Bush and his puppeteers, I want to vaporize them." -- Tom Lehrer "The eyes are the groin of the head." -- Dwight Schrute . ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
