Larry Clark's organ diddlee-dee bit in response to Gary.

Such a good track. Also, it appears on my Viking Fury mix which is entered as part of the ILM mix competition which one day will be polled!

It's just occurred to me that I am not nearly as familiar with the Monks as I truly want to be.

I wish "We don't like the army/What army?/Who cares what army?" was left as a single line, that's my favourite part!

This song still sends chills up my back.

I probably mentioned this before, but when Gary performed this song with the Mock Monks in Minneapolis in '06, he changed the words to (from memory):

Why do you kill all those kids over there in Iraq?
Iran!
My brother died in Vietnam.
George Bush, who the fuck is he?!

I dug out Eddie Swaw's "Black Monk Time" autobiog. He's a good writer and it's an excellent book!

― Mark G, Friday, 25 January 2008 08:09 (eighteen years ago)

It's an excellent book but (!) slightly fictionalized!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

three months pass...

Oh you might know this...

Amy Winehouse documentary recently: One track played, AW singing, sounded a lot like "Wie Du" but what is it? Where from?

"I'm Blue (The Gong Gong Song)"?
