Guest Michael Higgins Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 johnny gilliam baby take me back, don't think it mentions the title Good example. I don't think Dry Well's "Gypsy" (Lauren) ever actually says "gypsy" at any point. Also (for the pedants) I seem to remember (in a way that is not reassuring) that Eugene Jefferson never uses the exact phrase "a pretty girl dressed in brown".

Gene-r Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) not the one i've got on Ultra-Class are there two versions ?? There must be - the one I heard in 1991 starts off with four solitary drum beats, and then goes into the "There's a girl I really want to meet". That was also on Ultra Class (yellow label). Would be keen to know if there is another version of it. The one I've heard is a really messy production. I remember it for the line which sounds like "She's not skinny, she's not fat, she shaved my p***s, and I like that"! I've been advised he actually says "She's shaped like Venus", but I beg to differ! Edited April 17, 2007 by Gene-R Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Strictly speaking the first line of "Just like the weather" is: "The snow has ceased to fall...." Lots of others in this thread fall into that catagory, The backing singers start off singing the title, but when the singer actualy delivers the first line....

Koolkat Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 The awesome Jack Montgomery and his "Dear Beloved" Also his other top tune,"Do you believe it" although i cant make out if its actually "it" or "in" at the beginning. Oh well it doesnt matter just an excuse to listen to it and check it out. Marvellous voice and a fantastic middle bit with strings and girlies going mad.
