I love that movie. It tickles my quirks.

Hi John,
I love that movie. It tickles my quirks.
It's hard to think of another movie like it :D

This is one of those songs where knowing the movie helps understand the lyrics.

Thanks for the listen and post :D

Hi James

When possible, I try to listen to these without first reading the lyrics. After all, when we play out or have someone else hear our songs they don't usually have the luxury of having a full set of lyrics in front of them.

The reason for bringing this up is that, just listening to the first two verses before getting to the "I've brought two hundred dollars" line (and totally ignoring the title, I might add!), I though this might be a tribute to John Lennon. The song has that "it's familiar but in an unfamiliar way" vibe that both Lennon and Ray Davies use so well in their writing.

Very nicely done, sir! Now I'm going to have to dig out that DVD from somewhere among the many boxes of things we've not gone through yet!

Peace

That's encouraging.

Happy digging! :P
