SONGS UNDER TWO MINUTES (16): I KNOW SOMEONE……

The full song title is far too lengthy to include at the top of this posting. And with my two-fingered approach to things, it would likely take longer than its 96 seconds of music to type out.

mp3: The Pooh Sticks – I Know Someone Who Knows Someone Who Knows Alan McGee Quite Well

From 1988. It’s twee-pop at its finest and, dare I say it, at its wittiest. It was what the early version of The Pooh Sticks became famed for.  See also On Tape and Indiepop Ain’t Noise Pollution, both of which are just too long at 2:39 and 2:14 respectively to feature in this particular series.

  1. All three songs mentioned here represent quintessential indie pop. Receive regular listens from me to this day.

  2. Funnily enough I do know someone who knows someone who knows Alan McGee quite well.

    Swc.

  3. One of the finest pop bands to grace pop’s stage. My own preference is for the early stuff but as they evolved I stayed very happily on their pop bus. I really do with I’d managed to get a copy of Think Bubble. That’s a regret.

  4. It’s time for the next reissue of “Orgasm”. I’m looking forward to the title. Amelia Fletcher, who was featured here two posts ago, provided guest vocals on three albums by the Pooh Sticks (including “Orgasm”) and is considered a bit of an unofficial member of the Pooh Sticks. But again, I’m sure everyone knew that except me.
