Marilyn Monroe.... real name: Norma Jeane Baker. Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics for "Candle In The Wind" about her. (Goodbye Norma Jeane, though we never knew you at all.....) She was on the cover of the first issue of Playboy magazine. A true legend.
This song, to a minor degree, and its album, to a major one, illiustrates how XTC pairs melody with dissonance. This song is, on the whole, a melodic element after that that precedes it (That Wave), but has within it the surprising chords and melodies "I was a little frightened..." "I was a little dazzled..." within.
So good to see all the viewings XTC videos get!! Although not much compared to the millions of views the worst music in the world gets here on youtube. We are the minority but we've got one thing they don't...soul! Play it loud...spread the music!
lmao you are right! - how silly to make a video about a world wide celebrity who's fame has only grown since her dearth fifty years ago. thanks for posting.
well cassidy it was either marilyn or hitler and i coldn't find a love song about hitler unless The Way We Were was about him-hmmm I'll check and get back to you!
I always thought she looked fat in 1:42, but now not so much!! Man, I wish I looked as lard-daden...

I think this is one of the most Beatles-esque songs XTC recorded.

Yes asara you are right - next time ill remember to add a few explosions, car chases, and perhaps a human sacrifice or two !
