Sorry—couldn't be bothered reading all the comments before throwing that out—still kinda freaky that the post RIGHT NEXT to mine mentions this… *urp*

Still not as bad as including audio ads between songs…
…Sigue Sigue Sputnik, anyone?

OK, it was/is a SNL clone with a questionable tie-in (what does it really have to do with MAD magazine anyway?) but the first 2 or 3 seasons were pretty good. Nicole Sullivan as Vancome lady, Dixie Wetsworth and her pool boys, Aries Spears as James Brown Junior, Phil LaMarr as the UBS guy, El Asso Wipo and Senor Bag

Mayonnaise does not come from Mayonne. According to my French dictionary, it was originally spelled Mahonnaise and was part of an expression "a la mahonnaise," itself a commemoration of the French taking Port Mahon (in Minorca, Spain) in 1756. I am not making this up. Another competing theory says it was inspired

So that's who's responsible for inflicting that song on us again when we thought we'd heard the last of it? And making it so similar to the original that we couldn't tell when we heard it playing at our local HMV?

There's NOTHING about Mary
Interesting to read that…

R.I.P. Kirsty MacColl
This album also includes some great "second vocals" (as Stereolab would have called them) from Kirsty MacColl, which you can hear on the clip of "Speed Your Love to Me" (she also sang on "Street Hassle").
I agree that this album is bass-shy; that's really its only production fault; the 'clacky'
