Alan was in a band with the singer of the original Rare Bird version of this song, Steve Gould. They had a band called Runner on Island records, and they made one very fine album.
Yes he mentioned that during the show - just after The Arrows. But you know what they say about bands who's name ends in -er.. Was Steve in fact the sole author of the song? I didn't write that because I wasn't sure.
All the members of Rare Bird were credited on the song, but privately Steve Gould will tell you he wrote the song alone and it irks him that he shared the royalties with his bandmates.
Also, there was an article in the UK paper Sounds about the curse of bands with names ending in -er like Runner. Funny!
