Spiritulized had to cut the line in the end
they do it live, and it was on promo versions
but on the album it's cut
I remember the Beta band thing, I think they took a bath on it, giving Steinman mad crazy royalties, or cutting the line... I was only listening to that song today and I actually can't remember...
BUT I only reaslied the other day that Alison's Starting To Happen off Shame About Ray by Lemonheads has the line
"It's so mesmerising, can't describe it, all that inside stuff"
which is the spoken word 'freaky' bit from Rocks Off on Exile In Mainstreet, by the extremely litigious Rolling Stones... it's pretty cleverly done and broken up over a couple of lines, but is cleary a word for word lift
so to summerise, I have no new information or opinons on this subject, but I know a lot of useless stuff about pop music
all this and that dirty projectors guy can get away with pulling that black flag shit?!
I can't remember what the credits say regarding the music but the lyrics are all credited to Greg Ginn. I'm pretty sure I read an interview with him where he said he didn't ask for permission, but he did send Greg Ginn a copy of the record.
An what a great record it is!
Also, interestingly, in the backing vocals of Gimme Gimme Gimme the girls in the band sing the lines:
Unemployment at a record high
People come and people go and people born to die
except its in Esperanto.
