What are you listening to?

[Cannonfodder]

Mr Bryan Adams has written some hits aren't really 'my taste' but that are damned fun to play along to,

No matter what you think of his music the guy should be respected. How many other artists have managed to get away with releasing a song like Summer of 69 without anyone realising what it's really about (hint, 69 has nothing to do with the year ?)

Yes I read an article about that, someone realised the maths didn't stack up with his age, so asked him about it, and so he told 'em about his Happy Time ?

But if you want a really good "got away with it" pop song story, try listening to Captain Sensible's version of "Happy Talk" again...  Considering he did this on TOTP, and I noticed the first time I heard it, I'm amazed he got away with this!

... 2:30 is where the magic happens ?

I'm trying to work out if he dropped the c-bomb at around 2:35 there?

Yes he did.  In an interview he said he was pissed as a twat when he recorded it.  Plus he was of course in The Damned,  it wouldn't be very punk of him not to.  The 'official' lyrics have him singing 'cuss' but you can hear a drawn out 'n' and 't' quite clearly.

Not bad for a #1 song that got masses of plays is it ?

To be fair, BBC didn't notice what Jimmy Saville was up to, so this matey throwing out c-blasters live on air is childs play (No Saville pun intended) for the broadcasters. ?

Oh yes they did

Been listening to a lot of angry young men recently...

Well that was certainly more subtle than John Lydon singing pretty vacant
