MOG

Kirsty MacColl is singing background vocals on this version.

I've got that one. I hear this one because a while back I watched about 4 days worth of Tracey Takes On... and that has this song at the beginning of every episode. Every once in a while this song works its way out of the back of my brain and fights to stay on top.

My second-favourite "surprise cameo at the end of a video" - and my favourite is allegedly not actually one.

great song

Great song! Here's another version: Ben Gibbard, anyone?

LOL! OK, so I don't know what I did wrong, but I kinda like that version too. Sorry 'bout that, folks!

Hell yeah. That's what I'm talkin bout. That's freakin heelarious. Oh god I wanted the song out of my head. This is ten kinds of worse. So funny. Thanks Amber. I needed that.

Stiff Records just re-released Tracey's "You Broke My Heart In 17 Places", with bonusy tracks n' stuff. It's awesome. She was actually Stiff's highest charting singles act. Go figure!

I love Paul McCartney showing up in that video.

My pleasure! Just think, that's the version you can listen to when pressed for time....and I thought Ben already had a high voice. Gibbard on helium!

Good info Lady Miss Ian. I love Paul being on there too. I read somewhere that she said that was one of the highlights of her life.

Amber I think all musicians should do it on helium at least once. You could call it Chipmunks Bop.

I'e had the same double-speed play effect when posting tracks i edited in Audacity - tracks that play fine on my computer, or if i put them on my web-hosting account and post a link.

I've begun to suspect it's because Audacity uses a 32-bit encoding algorithm by default, and MOG's mp3 post mechanism expects 16-bit (which is, after all, standard).

I plan to experiment.

Interesting that the vid is available, as the song is not on iTunes or anywhere else. And I only wanted this song. So...I found out that it's actually a song of Kirsty MacColl, and bought HER original. I love the song, but could care less about Tracey. I started to watch a comedy special of hers on HBO, and she started with this song. Fine, then the bad comedy began and I was gone in about 5 minutes. Ah well, at least she launched the Simpsons.

BTW, are you swami or sumpin? ;)

C'mon, fist. Admit it. The only reason you were hearing this song in your head was Starbuck's worldwide McCartney Brain-Control Program, wherein they coerce everyone into buying Paul's new album by feeding images of him into our head's via microwave. Fixating on the Tracey Ullman song was just a side effect of his appearance in her video - IN YOUR MIND!!!

I can think of worse songs to get stuck in your head, consider yourself lucky
