Temporary Secretary a great track, but of it's time. Would be frowned upon by many now, as would original Shaft (except through "ironic" glasses) and Hong Kong Phooey. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20185#post-328190 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 07:15:55 +0000 gembo 328190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have Satellite of love by Lou Reed stuck in my head since sunday when Tim Burgess of Charlatans told story of how he asked Lou if he could have his autograph when he spotted him drinking coffee in Manchester Piccadilly Station - Lou replied in his crosspatch voice IF I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO</p> <p>Ooooh</p> <p>So I am using Shaft He is the man theme tune to try to remove this ear worm but might have to up it to John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme which I find removes ear worms. Paul McCartney’s Temporary Secretary also works but then you are left with that song which is annoying on so many levels </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20185#post-328189 Thu, 23 Apr 2020 01:53:38 +0000 crowriver 328189@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Better tell Sarge... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20185#post-328187 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 22:47:40 +0000 steveo 328187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can you dig it </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20185#post-328186 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 22:41:39 +0000 jdanielp 328186@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo damn right. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20185#post-328173 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 17:38:20 +0000 gembo 328173@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@jdanielp</p> <p>Shaft? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20185#post-328167 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 16:31:58 +0000 crowriver 328167@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@jdanielp, just adding a bit of texture to the 1970s cultural references. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20185#post-328160 Wed, 22 Apr 2020 15:48:35 +0000 jdanielp 328160@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@crowriver no, I'm afraid not.
