A tender love song about a gal and a machine? I'm telling you, this non-traditional marriage thing may be finally getting out of hand.

Roy Wood Week Part IV: Don't Let Rick Santorum Hear This One!
From 1973 and his solo (one man band) album Boulders -- please enjoy the genius that is Roy Wood and his melodic sci-fi masterpiece "Miss Clarke and the Computer."

Aw, c'mon...I know it's Roy Wood Week, but just *one* Move song...? "Tonight"? "Chinatown"? "It Wasn't My Idea To Dance"? Or an oldie..."Fire Brigade" or "I Can Hear The Grass Grow"? My old band, from a lifetime and a gender change ago, Liquor Giants, used to cover both and recorded "Fire Brigade". (Yeah, used to be a boy. Feel much better now.)
ReplyDelete"Songs of Praise" is on Boulders. I think Roy overdubbed the entire chipmunky chorus with his voice. Nice hook but very strange...
