I love it when high-concept, bare-bones, one-idea singles become big
hits. I mean, there’s “White Rabbit”, “O Superman”, this… . It gives me
encouragement that yes, even I could magic one up if I’m lucky (there’s gotta be
a gold disc waiting for a two-minute tambourine solo, right?). I wish I’d been
in the studio when the boys rolled in with no chorus and just
one-and-three-quarter verses: I guess it would’ve prompted a bit of discussion…
“Where’s the rest of it?”
“That’s all there is. We just keep doing key changes”
“Wait… what?”
“It’s OK, we have purity of vision.”
“You… what?”
“We have purity of vision.”
“Er, OK. Is this purity of vision going to extend to everything you
record?”
“No. We’re a one-hit wonder.”
“OK. I’ll stick a bit of Leslie on it.”
