KLF - kylie said to jason

[hills468]

should bring it out again make it a big hit, sounds like pet shop boys

[benthejrporter]

Love the KLF! This is different to their other songs. I think it's a parody.

[anglojojo]

Say is KLF like a scottish band ?

[josephmarshall]

@anglojojo exactly like a Scottish band.

[russterman1]

I'm sorry, willing to give all music a chance but for fucks sake, are you all morons???

[SMALLCODNCHIPS]

@russterman1 I think it's meant to be ironic. You can hear the deliberate Stock, Aitken and Waterman style backing track. It's a total pisstake.

[MegaHewett]

Thanks Brill .

[egonsmartie]

i bought the single for this - haven't heard it for ages - whoo hoo

[trueblueorder]

@egonsmartie It wasnt released as a single was it?

[hills468]

@trueblueorder it was released the first single it floped

[jasonbigelow]

Dammit,i want that car.

[timbearcub]

Never surprised this wasn't a hit; massive JAMMS/KLF fan, bought all the 'stadium house' singles, Shag Times, 1987, Space, Stadium house video - but thought this was a bit shit when I heard it a while later. Sounds like a mid-morning telly theme.

[mdreher1972]

oh my god, i still have the VHS tape of this...... fond memories!

[anothercountyheard]

what were they thinking on this one? not good

[sabbath231]

[andyhawne]

[chewymatty1]

id rather jack than fleetwood mac! :P

props to the man in the ice cream van

[sabbath231]

What a cool song. Wish i would've discovered this a while back LOL

[missjacko1]

I like a lot of the Stock, Aitken and Waterman produced music, you have to remember these songs produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman had me and millions of others dancing in the discos, Isnt that what music should be something to dance to and have fun with. They were mass produced generic but they had a good sound and were fun to dance to thats the point of them.

[erictheviking871]

@missjacko1 ha ha 20 years ago id have called you all sorts for saying that. but you are right,as iv learned a good fun tune is good who ever makes it , it doesnt matter .trying to be elitist can be a fucking pain,i know i was a wanker for it .not an more though. now wheres that rare throbbing gristle 12 inch .

[jammumu]

This takes me back !!!

Lol 80's.

[DepressedEnglishChap]

A wonderful piss-take of everything which was wrong with pop music in the late '80's, courtesy of Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

Their horrid, soul-less, identikit formula of conveyor-belt pop, featuring vacuous 'acts', fronting mostly awful covers of '70's disco classics, was a novelty for a week, but the joke wore thin quickly. The years of '88 and '89 were possibly two of the worst on record for pop music before 2000, with the charts being dominated by utter mindless rubbish.

[RocStarr913]

Lucky for us in America, only most of the best of PWL was successful here. I've heard some of the other PWL stuff that was popular over in your country and some of it truly is shite. I feel sorry for every Brit who lived during that time. This song is a fantastic parody of the PWL formula.

[EatTheTele]

I looove the big-out trumpet on 0:54.

That is over the top disco.

[doktorzoom]

ooh, drivin' around with their brights on...they WERE rebels, all right!

[nanospasm]

what a trip ;)

[wedge5210]

a belter 2 blokes who know music

[FOXB5]

It Sounds like Pet Shop Boys :-)

[NotATube]

It's just a bit too influenced by "Left to My Own Devices" for its own good.

Don't get me wrong, as a Pet Shop Boys pastiche it's quite good, but I can't enjoy it as a song in its own right as much because the similarity is just too distracting :-/

Part of it sounds like that Jimmy Somerville cover of Comment Te Dire Adieu. But my Big Book of Guinness Hit Singles for Anal Retentives confirms that *that* came out afterwards. So they probably ripped off the KLF rather than vice versa. :)

[andyhawne]

I'm not sure that the KLF were influenced by anyone. Bill Drummonds past would suggest he was more influential than influenced. Still you do make an interesting comment. Cheers, (and its still grim up north)

[RocStarr1983]

And deliberately so, according to The KLF themselves. It's also a parody of the Stock, Aitken, Waterman dance songs from Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, and Jason Donovan (hence "Kylie Said To Jason") that were huge in Britain in the late 1980's.

[UBIQUEROL]

And early 1990's!

[Applemask]

They said themselves that with this song they wore their "Pet Shop Boys infatuations brazenly on [their] sleeves".

[boyakasha777]

whoever invented it, europeans surely perfected it. deal with that.

[drezone]

The KLF were music politicians.

They made a statement that Pop was eating the same thing it was defecating.

They proverbially stuck two fingers up at the SAW and newfound sample predominated era - and were reluctantly commercially successful.

bring back the JAMS MF!!!!

[skatoad]

Techno is actually an equal mixture of both European synthpop, and US electro and house, so technically yes techno has roots in European bands like Kraftwerk, but then again you could claim that any electronic music does, their influence is just that broad. House music on the otherhand, even though it may of incorporated European elements, was mainly developed out of American disco.

Also, the term "acid" was coined by Chicago DJs, but it wasn't as widely used as it was in the UK.

[decoyoctopusra]

Song is so peaceful. ^^; Takes me to the era of the KLF, when music as a whole was good, and made you feel well.

[stellaviolens]

It was some 20 years later that I found out the KLF was in fact BA Robertson. One of Scotlands leading ************ ******* **** !

[StanPomeray]

Mr.Drummond, rather excellent !

[OleCoward]

Piano intro, taken from "St. Elmo's fire" or "My Endless Love" ?

[marzipan260]

think twice? uhh I did.

1. Why the fuck would I go to that stinking hell hole. Full of niggers, smog, unemployment and mosquitos with nile fever. L.A don't mean shit out here in europe I am from london for fucks sake the clubbing capital of the world.

2. That clubs sound sucked, all that deep house shit, bumpin and grinding and all that. If you knew so much about electronic music why were you making totally elementry comments about the klf, like as if you dont know shit?

[ACRTGATB]

lol...that stupid cop car, they've always gotta squeeze it in somehow.

[3rdseal]

this is why the KLF are so authentic - they will never ever do any kind of reissues!

[mpm99klf]

reissue the klf back catalogue , someone start a campaign

[xxxxxchrismxxxxx]

I'm gonna leave this party now!

[sdrocerpraw]

Havent heard this song for years. Its still as good as I remember. Had it on 12 inch vinyl went it came out then forgot about it! Same original version as the one I had on record. The adid remix came afterwards...

[cls14]

"The real version/US version kick some ACID house!" - What do you mean the "real" version? The UK version would be the real one retard.

[marzipan260]

fucking well said mate.

[ssssroryssss2]

lol It was ment to be crap!

[kyliesaidtrance]

hayyy

my username comes from a remix for this song.

[jammumu]

You got it,you got it

KLF Have now left the music industry

You got it,you got it

HAGBARD CELINE MURDERED THE J.A.M.S

for the Illuminated Seers of Bavaria.FNORD.

[12001200]

damn fnords are everywhere.

[shafty1968]

Not my favourite track, but any chance to see Ford Timelord is great; I'd love a car like that....

[BDDave]

The earliest identifiable trance recordings came not from within the trance scene itself, but from the UK acid house movement, and were made by The KLF. The most notable of these were the original 1988 / 1989 versions of What Time Is Love? and 3 a.m. Eternal (the former indeed laying out the entire blueprint for the trance sound - as well as helping to inspire the sounds of hardcore and rave) and the 1988 track Kylie Said Trance.

[666Nukes]

The KLF going Pet Shop Boys style. Reminds me of Left To My Own Devices. Good song.

[tfoy60]

Gonnae no gie us the Queen an I?

[wardourstreet]

klf - superb

[KarlNemetski]

I'm bringin' KLF back to the forefront of 21st Century mainstream along with the Future Sound of London. It's one of my missions.

[ABCRE2]

LIKE-WISE.

[encise]

Back to the forefront? Speak to any music fan worth their salt, and they never left the forefront! :)

[Lastdefender]

ITS ALL IN THE MIND

[paranormalhandy]

Did anyone ever find out where the movie was filmed? I know it's Andalucia - but where? The footage from 'The White Room' (excerpt, rough footage, promo edit, whatever you want to call it) features amazing vistas, a cool village, a castle and of course the White Room/observatory. No one seems to know EXACTLY in Spain where they are (apart from probably all the thousands of Spanish people who live in that area - and they ain't telling!)

[BDDave]

Sierra Nevada mountain range, Granada, Andalucía, Spain. go to website imdb and type in "The White room" ;)

[thecmen]

yeah, but why sheep? ;)

[Henne79]

because they know what time love is ;)

[Toolpusher]

I've got the full "White Room" road movie :)

[Henne79]

Bleeble Blaable. Full Movie was never made, only the first part (44 mins).

It was shown to a group of sheep in munich around 1990

[Toolpusher]

WTF are you talking about? What there is, is what there is, and I have it. What are you looking for? The two hour Hollywood remix? LOL :)

[Henne79]

U aint knowin what u are talking about, the movie WAS NEVER COMPLETED! The Project was Scrapped after a while. I dont know how much or if they even started filming the second and third chapter. Did u really think the movie was supposed to end with bill and jim entering the white room? Loolz

The script for the full movie is leaked although

[Toolpusher]

As I said, WHAT THERE IS WHAT THERE IS. Fech.

[besarbears]

Innocuous title aside, the track has strong hints of the Pet Shop Boys as well as Stock-Aiken-Waterman. Slightly surreal ending but that's expected from the JAMs/KLF.

[newagent]

The KLF/JAMs parody SAW vs. the PSBs! This song is one marvellous in-joke (and Drummond and Cauty pulled it off so well).
