How did the Pet Shop Boys arrive at their name I wonder

My first memory of that was someone playing it on a radio outside one sunny evening when I was a kid. The Animals version was 1964 and I thought it was great.


I've hit Godlike!

mmm- Syslike

Was at garden centre with missus a few weeks back and they started playing House of the Rising Sun. My back went all tingly. No idea why, can't recall it has any particular associated memories.

Clever use of multitracking on that track to do the vocal harmonies. They actually sung each note in the scale and looped it, then fed it through the mixing desk and pushed the faders up and down to play chords.

When they performed it live they had a Revox reel to teel tape recorder on stage, obviously playing the mix.

Probably more all the garden implement stimuli around you than that particular song.

Similar thing happened to me at our local garden centre a few weeks back. They were playing the Nick Stroker Band and I experienced similar sensations to yourself.

I since concluded that these were caused by my being in close proximity to a John Deere sit on mower.

Caught sidling towards the cover of the Leylandii when Mrs. X fetched you one with her correctional cattle prod? Just a thought.

What did you do with Mr Squirty Wirty?

What a very odd question.

I realised it wasn't actually funny

Hmmm - on googling I may have been misled.

A couple of sources do agree though. Rock Band Name Origins at WHAT'S IN A NAME

LOVIN' SPOONFUL - 1) from the lyrics of the old song "Coffee Blues". Possibly a drug reference to the spoon used to heat & melt drugs such as heroin for use. 2) Also that the amount of the sperm ejaculated by the average male is about a spoonful (see also the band 10cc

pacharan hails from the "big girl's blouse" step of the evolutionary ladder. That is the one just below Cheryl Cole.

They're not the only band to name themselves after that. Anyone know another?
