Because I think I've been telling people this for, like, two years. I was just playing Drums and Wires for my girlfriend and told her, "Yea, can you believe this is Andy Partridge from the Partridge Family haha?" "Really? Wow. He sounds kind of British." "Yea, he is British." "Oh... Are you sure about that?" "Of course, Andy Partridge." "Did you ever watch the Partridge Family?" "Well, no, but..." etc.

Anyone? Wikipedia, Allmusic, and Google are all in a confederacy against me.

Rarely have I felt like more of a douche.

The Partridge Family weren't even named Partridge, you hapless clown

I like this idea. Maybe I was actually singing XTC songs while standing on top of my toy-box as a kid instead of Partridge Family songs?

Fuck you, I wasn't born here. and had never seen a frame of the Partridge Family tv series.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Saturday, 12 November 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

ah well. i never watched the show either.

You guys are thinking of Alan Partridge. He played Danny on the TV series.

The same Alan Partridge that has his own Vh-1 reality show, the Biggest Loser? ACE!

That's right -- not to be confused with Alan "Cook Pass" Babtridge, who was a session drummer for XTC.

It's okay, it's better than feeling like a Bonaduce.

Mmmm, Susan Dey.

TS: Jeremy Gelbwaks Vs. Brian Forster.

Forster seemed like he knew how to play the drums a little more, I think.

Alex, what did you think the Partridge Family were named?

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Saturday, 12 November 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess he thought "Jones," "Cassidy," "Dey," and "Bonaduce."

― nabisco (nabisco), Saturday, 12 November 2005 23:16 (twenty years ago)

And "Crough" and "Gelbwaks/Forster" damnit!

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 12 November 2005 23:23 (twenty years ago)

Alex, what did you think the Partridge Family were named?

It was a tv show, bonehead!

Thanks for the info, dickfumbler! (I thought you were saying the characters weren't named Partridge.)

tracy partridge is criminally underrated on tambourine. heavy influenced by davy jones, natch.

Were the cowsills really named Cowsill? And was Andy Cowsill in that group?
