Benny Hill & The Temptations (added Sound File Now!)

[Guest]

In the "Dan Folger - Cream or Crap" thread that i put up recentley, DundeeDavie proceeded to destroy one of my all time favourites for me by pointing out the similarity to "Four Vandles - Wrong Side of Town" . He noted the chord progression e.t.c.

Anyway upshot is i keep listening for things like this when i play other tracks, (Damn you Davie !!), & the other day i stuck on one of my favourite Motown LP's "Temptations With A Lot O Soul". Some great tracks on there, most notably their version of "Save My Love For A Rainy Day".

But on listening to "It's You That I Need I Need", another great track, i couldn't help but notice it's similarity, in parts, to "Ernie" by Benny Hill !!! . I wil try & put a sound file up sometime soon, but if you have it already, try singing after the slow break towards the end of the track, "A womans needs are many fold & Sue she married Ted, but strange things happened on thier wedding night as they lay in thier bed !, Was that the trees a rustling or the hinges on the gate ? Or Ernie's ghostly gold tops a rattlin in their crate !"

Also if you listen carefully after the first verse, you can hear Trigger's hoof's pound as they race across the ground !!

Davie, im starting to wish i had never spoken to you !

Sorry folks ! Wrote down wrong track initially, meant to put "It's You That I Need" not "All That I Need" . Both tracks on album. Changed it now.

Equally ruined for me is Bobby sheens version of 'I may not be what you want' B side of 'Something new to do'. My wife said the intro sounds like Joe Dolce- Shuddup ya face

Now rendered totally unlistenable for me :angry:

Whether or not it does, I shall always hear Ernie now

My wife says The Dells - Make Sure sounds like the theme to Love Boat - ruined Love Boat for me.

Now that's funny. All my records have been ruined by my misses telling me that half of 'em are hers now. See you soon. ATB, Nelly

...Ruined it fro me too - that Spanish Picture DIsc of 'Ernie' is in the bin already...

[Guest sydney bridge]

Sorry, but here's another one that's been killed for me now. 'Er indoors says the Gospel Classics 'More Love' sounds like the theme tune of Steptoe & Son.

Don't blame you ! It was a classic wasn't it !!

" Ted went for is Bun !, but Ernie was to quick for him & a Strawberry flavoured Yogurt sent it spinning from his hand "

Brilliant lyrics !! the man was a comedy genius, shame he relied to heavily on the scantily clad female towards the end of his career ( then again perhaps not ? ) as he was far more than a one track pony !
