I'm confused. is this the same lilys that wrote the song? if so, where did he get the silly accent, and why can't he sing the song at all like the recorded version? can someone clarify this for me? thanks.

@prattleon Kurt Heasley answers to no man, he lived off onions during the making of this record

[fheisk]

i understand he didn't wanna suck live on totp, but the vocal melody just got butchered lol. it is so perfect on the track

[indierickenbacker]

This was the first song to be played fully live on TOTP.

[RazSux]

@Dillboy geez! cool

[carrierasquinha]

I woz 'ere...! not the best live performance but everyone pogo-ing made it fun :) thanks for posting!

[Picnicl]

No need to do that Beatles-esque Liverpudlian-style vocal - sounds better in the American accent and America was at least as important to this kind of sound. The B-side tracks on this single are brilliant too- really authentic 60s experimentative rock.

I like this a lot! Even though Kurt's voice sounds shot it kind of works as different dynamic for the song. I saw him open for My Bloody Valentine in Dallas last year and he sounded perfect!

Not half as good as Dave Clark 5.

[vacantmoon]

yea i believe kurt told me it was the first 'live' performance on TOTP

[damnspynovels]

@vacantmoon that can't be true at all. cf any new order TOTP appearance.

[downwidcrapmusic]

Good stuff. Pity it's got that vacuous moron jo winey bookending this otherwise fine performance.

[ELASTICAMAN]

i used to have this on a video my brother recorded over it :(

[norfolkboy83]

Very very good, I like!

[tonyveroni]

You can never have enough Lilys....

[tomuchshoegazing]

[Refrescospepito]
