The Guns N Roses canon posted on my own LJ by mistake this morning is NOT canonical. Results of outstanding Canons will be compiled when Kat gets back from Glasto too.

I think I actually have danced to a Simply Red song while I was hammered once in Y hen Bae (har har my welsh grammar is so bad) which they were trying to clear the dancefloor with (Stars, I believe it was) which I subjected, along with anything in my vicinity, to my usual wild flailings. To be fair that's the kind of thing that's perfectly acceptable by 4am in a town where everyone complains about the outrageous post-midnight pricing of £2.30 per pint (£1.50 b4 12) anyway.

I do quite like several of their songs, though, including aforementioned dancefloor nightmare and 'Money's Too Tight To Mention' is ace.

Do you know the original "Moneys Too Tight..." by the Valentine Brothers? It's really good (so is the SR version tho - in fact for a long time I used to claim it was better because people saying "Do you know the Valentine Brothers version?" rly annoyed me)

I don't know the original, no, unless it's been played at me at some point (in which case I am unaware of its exitence anyway) -I thought it was Hucknall's own. I will go and look it up on YouTube now.

I dunno if a video was involved, good hunting tho! I have the 7" single, the Valentines look and sound quite sad and down-at-heel, money almost certainly was v.tight, which I doubt it was for Mick. The Vals' version is sparser and gloomier, Mick adds the whole "Did the earth move for ya Nancy?" bit (which I really like! but it does change the song a little)
