Actually, Barnes probably wrote marginally more of CC’s stuff than Moss. It’d be maybe:
Walker 90%
Barnes 4%
Prestwich 3%
Moss 2%
Small 1%
I’m talking the original CC. I’ve avoided the reformation material, so couldn’t tell you who has written what…
Yeah, just shows how much the song sucks that the memories are still so fresh.
The two songs that irked me the most at these joints were: Khe Sanh and December 1963.
Well huge night, had a babysitter lined up for the morning, she cancelled have been up early with a terrible headache playing rocket ships with a 2 yo.
It’s actually hurting to think
Literally didn’t know that was what that song was called until just then
Haha, me too, I typed the first lines into Google.
You must’ve been going to the wrong places Jez. I went to just about every awful suburban nightclub in the eastern suburbs from the late 80’s to mid-90’s, and I can’t recall hearing Khe Sanh once. Maybe I’ve blocked it out.
The fkg putrid and noxious Paradise By The Dashboard Light on the other hand… This was a regular “closing time” song. Presumably because punters would clear the joint and quickly run for the exit at the opening bars. Gawd, I despise that song, album, artist…
And inoffensive yes to the song.
Line ball yes
Portland’s club played it once a night. They also finished every sing night with 4 Non Blondes. If I hear that again I’m not responsible for my actions.
Oh yeah… that’s a stinker too! Some wag gave that a run in here, didn’t they?
Bleugh…
Have a yes.
This is how I feel about Teenage Dirtbag
wow i go to the races for an afternoon and now i find 97 posts for 4 songs 2 days later!
This for myself also.
oh and a yes …
And a yes from me
Yes, just…
When I said Chisel for the wine tour I meant Cheap Wine & a 3 day growth, not the sapper song.
