Chaplin also wrote Petula Clark's 1967 hit, "This Is My Song" but she absolutely hated Chaplin's original lyrics. She'd done some foreign-language versions (in French, Italian and German) and only recorded the English version because there was some time left over in the recording session. Clark thought the song would only be album filler and was surprised when her record label not only released it as a single but also pulled copies of her then-current album to add the song to the album. It would become her first #1 hit in the UK since 1961.

When "Safisfaction" first came out I didn't know what that instrument was, I thought it was maybe a saxophone but it wasn't really a sax, but it didn't sound like any guitar I'd ever heard. It looks like Keith Richards thought it sounded like a sax also if he was using it as a stand-in for a horn section. Soon fuzz guitar was everywhere, for instance on Count Five's "Psychotic Reaction".

Fuzz and distortion were actually developed in an effort to mimic horns. How far we've come. Another fun fact: George Harrison also used fuzz guitar to demo the horn part for Got To Get You Into My Life, but in that case they actually did replace it. You can hear it on the new Revolver box set.

Here are a few facts about How to Disappear Completly by Radiohead: - The song's title is taken from a book entitled "How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found" by Doug Richmond. - The song was inspired by a nightmare Thom Yorke had about floating down the Liffey in Dublin, Ireland while being pursued by a tidal wave. - The iconic line "I'm not here / This isn't happening" was actually advice given to Thom Yorke by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. on how to deal with the stress of touring.

One unusual thing I've noticed about "Dancing in the Moonlight" is that it uses the same rhyme for every line in all the verses and the chorus: "ite". Over the course of the song lines end with 'night', 'sight', 'right', 'delight', 'bite', 'light', etc. but never any other rhyme. I can't think of another song that does this.

there are always so many little facts out there, Douglas Adams it a favourite author, I was very excited when I saw the track title for the first time. actually most of that section is hitch hikers referencing even the "What's That?" which arthur asks when he hears his house being bulldozed . I remember that Airbag was unfortunate enough to be released close to the Death of Lady Diana and many people thought it was written about that do to the unfortunate coincedences in the lyrics. An interesting fact is the Song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" which was written as a vampire love song was alleged by Meatloaf originally written for him but was given to Bonnie Tyler instead.

The bit about Song 2's opening drums reminds me a bit about a fact I commented when you first asked for submissions. The Peter Gabriel track "Big Time" has a bass part played by two people at once - bassist Tony Levin held the notes on the strings, and one of the drummers from the album's sessions, Jerry Marotta, struck the strings with his drumsticks to sound the notes. This resulted in a distinctive, percussive bass tone. (Levin has stated that the technique was inspired by legendary jazz drummer Gene Krupa.) In order to replicate this sound on his own for concerts and for other recordings, Levin developed what he calls "funk fingers" by taking the ends of drumsticks and attaching them to his fingers, which he's used on occasion on various other recordings throughout his career.

As a fan of HHGTTG it was impossible not to link 'paranoid android' to the book; I'd be surprised if anyone who read the book did not make that connection. About the song quotes in 'All you need is love': what I always found hilarious about the Rutles version, 'Love, life' (which, as is the case with all Rutles songs, is almost as good as the thing it parodies) is that they, too, throw in a line from another Rutles song at the end, their version of 'She loves you', which is called 'Hold my hand (yeah, yeah)'. But where the real version makes it work so that you may not even notice it's even there, in the Rutles version the 'Hold my hand' thing is blurted out completely out of key and off the beat. It's pretty funny.

Tom Wilson, who organized the electric version of "Sound of Silence", is the person laughing hysterically at the beginning of "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream." Dylan and the band blew the intro, and both Dylan and Wilson cracked up. Wilson died at 47 of Marfan Syndrome, a disease that causes bizarre physical symptoms including hyper extensive and hyper flexible joints in the hands-leading to speculation that Nicole Paganini also had it, since some of his works are virtually impossible to play with human sized hands, but there are reports during his lifetime of him performing them.

I know Cole did it first but I always think of "Smile" as a Durante song. I love those ballad albums Durante made in the 60's

Motown's first hit - Barret Strong's "Money, That's What I Want" - uses a fuzz guitar tone and pre-dates the Stones' "Satisfaction" by about 6 years (recorded in 1959)

And "Satisfaction" isn't even the first *English* song to have fuzz in it. The Kinks's "You Really Got Me" was released in 1964, and became the first single by someone other than the Beatles to sell a million copies.

1:40 You can play it by one person, there's a technique in which you play the snare and the hihat with only one hand, check it out!

It can allllmost be played….i was thinking that too until i saw that you need to hit both the hat and the snare at the same time…you can basically do it but you’ll be missing 2 hi hat hits….it would be unnoticeable though…and theoretically you could do it with your foot on the hat pedal…open and close the hat on that beat…wouldn’t be exact though

5:00 That's crazy. For a long time i thought this guitar line was played on a Saxophone or something similar.

I love the girl working at the back in the Tony Visconti clip. She's trying to pretend to work but can't quite disguise her interest.

the song Lucky, by Radiohead borrows harmonic shape from the Eagles Journey of the Sorcerer which was used as the theme for the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. the shape of the melody in the chorus is lifted from the Eagles' tune's chorus, but slowed way down. I think the tempo shift is what keeps people from noticing it. was hoping you'd mention that.

The video for Pretty woman was filmed in Batley market in west Yorkshire. He had performed there and actually met his wife there!

Talking about Simon and Garfunkel, their song “Cecilia” seems to be about an unfaithful lover, it’s actually a plea to Saint Cecilia, patron saint of musicians!

I believe the everlong voice in the background later in the song also (The band said online) was that same old studio engineer talking, absolute nonsense to them about a food order or something
