It must be her sister?

[MarillionFan]

Here comes a girl with long brown hair
Who can't be more than seventeen
She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl
In a pink carriage
And i'm thinking that must be her sister
That must be her sister, right?

Ahh, the songs of my youth. What do they have instead of John Peel nowadays?

[AtW]

The answer is yes if she was dressed like a nun...

Made my day - my favourite band by far.

Gets the response from most people of "who?"

Nice one MF

That's also made me go and look at the video, which I'd not seen. I'd forgotten the lovely keyboard riff, but the telephonised voice is even more irritating than I'd remembered it.

If it's Leeds or Liverpool that baby girl is probably six months pregnant already.

PS Never eard of em before. Not bad.

Really? Most people in my peer group know them, they were fairly mainstream for a couple of years.

And yes, Beautiful Freak is a wonderful album, I'd say no bad tracks. I can't remember ever listening to any of their others though.

edit: And I only just found out BF was their début... I always imagined they had a couple of prior albums before getting popular.

Mr E had 3 solo albums before BF. The first, "Bad Dude in Love", is now very collectable but not very good at all. I have a poor quality ripped version of it. The next two "A Man Called E" and "Broken Toy Shop" are excellent albums and very recognisable as what became Eels. Well worth a listen.

I can also highly recommend the autobiographical "Things the Grandchildren should know"
