nabisco: Jess, have you ever heard A Flock of Seagulls' "Listen?"
Jess: i have not
nabisco: Let me tell you something: it is ridiculously good.
nabisco: I don't care about critical thinking or anything: it was the first record I ever really loved and I still think it's just amazing.
Jess: flock of seagulls were ruined for me by the fact that the lead singer once asked my ex to dress up in a clown suit for him
nabisco: ???
Jess: haha i would have sworn i would have posted this story to ilx
Jess: this is at kent state u around 89-90
Jess: they were playing the
Jess: wait for it
Jess: pizza parlor
Jess: so my ex had to go because of nostalgia, etc etc
nabisco: God that is SO sad
nabisco: they should be playing Wembley
Jess: so she was wearing this big red vinyl heart
Jess: and she slipped him this note at one point that read "i've got a heart on for you" ho ho
Jess: so after the show they were talking
Jess: and it was pretty clear he wanted to "get it on"
Jess: so she decided to fuck with him
Jess: and anway, it turned out they were driving around later
Jess: and eventually after much cajoling he finally asks her if there's a costume shop open that time of night
nabisco: This is getting creepy.
Jess: and it was revealed he liked to have his ladies dress up in clown costumes!!
Jess: haha also, as an extra bonus
nabisco: Oh Christ, I wish I didn't know that.
Jess: she saw them with her brorther when they were very little
Jess: like on the first american tour
Jess: and she got to go backstage
Jess: so they went up to his dressing room door
Jess: and knocked on it
Jess: and he was stark naked
Jess: hahaha
Jess: she's got a history of flock of seagulls perversions
nabisco: Damn.
nabisco: I think they were destined to be together.
Jess: well, she's all his now

Between story and painting, GREATEST THREAD EVER. And to think Dan is asleep and missing this joy.

this is even worse than the radiohead porn thread!!

The true depth was the Calvin/Hobbes slash. Frankly, in comparison this is sunshine and happy fairies.

clown porn should not exist and neither should clowns.

b-but if we didn't have clowns we wouldn't have insane clown posse jel?!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 16 October 2002 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

a flaw in my logic! This bitch wouldn't exist without clowns!

Has anyone else got any pop star fetishist stories theyd like to share?

jess is rilly rilly cruel!

A girl my friend knows named Dawn supposedly slept with the lead singer of Tool. As the joke goes "everybody wakes up to dawn" ho ho etc. etc.

― Honda, Wednesday, 16 October 2002 17:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Can I just mention that I really hope this story doesn't bias anyone against the musical and maybe even sartorial brilliance of A Flock of Seagulls?

True story

A friend of mine went and saw the comedian Stven Wr*ght. After the show they ended up at the same bar- Steven Wr*ght offered her 200 dollars to watch her piss. She declined.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 16 October 2002 18:02 (twenty-three years ago)

"I paid a girl 200 dollars and asked her to piss".....

"(long pause)"

"She was pissed alright"

the buttons on that clown's shirt are fuuucking with me...

― g.cannon (gcannon), Wednesday, 16 October 2002 19:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, the whole thread inspired me to break out the greatest hits collection, and it's still great sounding. Clown visions notwithstanding.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 October 2002 01:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Yikes! Make the clown go away!!! Aaiiii....

― Kim (Kim), Thursday, 17 October 2002 01:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Gah. Clowns are so creepy, I don't even know where to begin.

I could have sworn Jess told the clown story somewhere on ilx before. Either that, or I have heard some other clown fucking shenanigans regarding Flock of Seagulls. Which is not impossible.

A Flock Of Seagulls, "I Ran"

Misheard Lyrics:
A crowd of hairs above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The clown goes to the carousel
Aurora Borealis comes into you
Aurora comes into you.

Original Lyrics:
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora Borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view.

So do I! Or, at least when the subject of clowns or A Flock of Seagulls comes up, which probably averages out to once a month.
