Hooverphonic - Club Montepulciano (Bugs Mix) + Song Trivia

A remix I had never heard of (did you know it?) mixed with the official video. Yes, it's Geike singing, and back in 1998 she was a brunette :)

Trivia:
1) The original song wasn't originally meant to be first commercial single, because Alex thought it would be too lively for people who didn't know the sound of the band yet. Anywyay the record company insisted, and the song was very successful especially in Belgium and North America.
2) The name Fiona probably refers to Fiona Apple, with whom Hooverphonic toured extensively in 1997.
3) The line "Lenny Beige is performing 'Spinning Wheel'" and basically the whole song is Alex's account of a lazy evening where some Roger actually fell asleep! ;-)
4) Frank Duchene was still in the band at the time. Due to contrasts with Alex, he left after "Blue Wonder Power Milk".
5) In Liesje's rendition of "Club Montepulciano", Geike does backvocals; in Geike's delivery, it's Liesje doing them.

Fiona said somethin' nice to me
Green velvet jacket sets you free
Lenny Beige is performing, spinning wheel
{Faster than Mr. Designer, so excited that you're here sir}
Club Montepulciano is what you need

Blue Hawaii, Picadilly whore
Cocktail's what I'm longing for
Blue Hawaii, Picadilly whore
Roger fell asleep you know

Fiona said somethin' nice to me
New blue jet suit sets you free
Lenny Beige is performing, spinning wheel
{Picadilly Hawaii's cold, Picadilly Hawaii's cold}
Club Montepulciano is what you need

Blue Hawaii, Picadilly whore
Cocktail's what I'm longing for
Blue Hawaii, Picadilly whore
Roger fell asleep you know

Lenny Beige is a British lounge comedian who, in the 1990's, performed at many of "club montepulciano" lounge music scenes (concerts themed variously in clubs, blue Hawaii being one of many themes)
