I’m sure I posted this video once before, but I make no apology for posting it again. That’s because:
a) I think it’s the cleverest pop song I’ve ever heard.
b) There’s a story behind it:
My then-wife introduced me to it, as she did the album Consequences by the same duo. She had a
bit of a thing about Lol Creme (he’s the one in the white shirt.) She said he
was even cuter than me. Did that bother me? No.
‘That’s because he’s older than me,’ I said. ‘And he doesn’t
play rugby. And he hasn’t been a sailor.’
My then-wife seemed unaccountably impressed by the fact that
I’d been a sailor. She said the song ‘Sailor’ from Consequences somehow represented me in her eyes. Funny creatures,
women.
Eventually she had a fling with an ageing Italian bloke at Wimbledon one year, and then got involved with an archaeologist
who specialised in the Neolithic. Her place in my life was taken by a woman
from Liverpool who turned out to be an
absolute disaster, but that’s another story.
