This version of "Fairytale of New York" worked for me… Not that it wasn't a bit sloppy, but it seemed like everyone involved was enjoying the hell out of themselves performing it, plus the song itself is indestructible.

So that post-coital "orgasm imitations" scene must have been super-comfortable.

I misread the first "money" in your post as "monkey"… And I stopped reading and spent the next few seconds thinking, "wow, when did THAT become an expression?" and "waitaminnit, what does that even MEAN?!"

It's terrible alright… In a fascinating Trainwreck kinda way… There's was also a longer(!) version in Europe with a different title ('Attack of the Pantoms') and a lot more music (incorporating songs from the then-current solo albums)… There should have been an official soundtrack.

I just read that the show is getting a 3ed season, which is awesome… Loved S1, loved S2 even more, right up until the season finale, which made me say, "Wait, really?!" out loud (Karaoke skills in Limbo = a superhuman ability to survive hours of bleeding out on the floor after being shot in the gut? I would have…

Somewhete on cassette I have a taped-off-the-radio interview Townshend did in 1978 on WLIR wherein he expressed dissatisfaction with the song, that it was overproduced, and didn't quite click, or something.

If they had eliminated "She's a bomb" from the choruses…

She's not nuts, she's realized.

Yeah, that occurred to me… (K)nope?

If they gave out Emmies for best "Nope"…

I've been reading the comments for bout an hour, and maybe I just didn't see it yet, but has no one mentioned the split screen hi jinx with Ed and Peggy making their getaway? Like they went to split screen every time Peggy said something that would indicate to Ed that they weren't on the same page, or same planet for…

Oh absolutely… Pity things almost certainly ended very badly for her.

Oh come on now… "Do the Evolution" or GTFO!

I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud. "Hon, you've got to stop stabbin' him."

If any goth club ever needed something to play on their video monitors…

It's what made me a Quay fan, and a His Name Is Alive fan (for a few years anyway). Can't hear the song without picturing the video. Unsettling in the best way… Question (not that there's any correct answer), but the first time I saw it, I assumed it was "about" child sexual abuse, or is it just alluding to…

Exactly… I assumed both 'Prison Sex' and certainly 'Sober' were Brothers Quay vids… Not to diminish Adam Jones' accomplishments. 'Sober' is like a straight up homage.

Simone is alive… Bear didn't check the bottoms of his shoes for blood.

I used to sing along to this: "she's my chicken-pot-pie!" to render it more ridiculous than offensive.

Mrs. Dumphy, do you tutor?
