  • A friend of mine got the lyrics wrong. He thought they were singing, "Hey, Mary is screwin'."

  • @CatapultYourMom - There's no answer to that!

  • OK, so they're obviously lipsyncing, but is it the single or album version of "Who's Gonna Tell Mary" that we're hearing? I looked for a download of the song online and the version I found sounds different. And it's nowhere near as good.

  • @rdt0710 I don't think it's either, the album version is very different and almost completely leaves out the hook. It was probably pre-recorded, along with the rest of the songs on the series, at sessions especially for it (just like TOTP).

  • @gregorypope23 Interesting! Thanks very much for the info and for posting this beauty of a song. I have heard repeatedly that the band were better live than on record. Wish the sessions you speak of would come out officially (or un-officially for that matter) so we could all enjoy them. Cheers!

  • @rdt0710 Their Peel Sessions were released on cd several years ago. Worth saving a search on eBay, as they do come up from time to time: )

  • yes found it, i love that song.

  • Awesome! Someday some great pop-rock group is going to dust this off, and if they covered it they'd have a huge hit!

  • @CraigClashBrown ...and The Golden Horde?

  • Damien O'Neill doppelganger!

  • In answer to rdt0710 . . the tracks used for this tv series were specially recorded at the famous Rockfield studios
