Cute, In A Stupid Ass Way


Well look, this has all been very nice but I really must get on.

Here's Jacques Brel (difficult, bohemian, Belgian) via Scott W. fantasising about what it'd be like to be a proper pop star.

English lyrics by Mort Shuman, who knew a thing or two about popular music himself.

Marvellous.

Scott Walker - 'Jackie' (1967)

    The martial orchestra at the beginning (and intermittently throughout) sounds like it's playing the Thunderbirds theme.

    Lady Penelope would like this one
