That was Robbie Williams mate
First single - Spandau Ballet “To Cut A Long Story Short” First album - ELO “A New World Record“
I didn’t realise he sings “to cut a long story short I pulled a whitey” until a few years ago when I heard it at a Music Quiz. Really made me laugh. Their early stuff was good with insight.
I have a stupid thing of shouting requests for Cotton Eye Joe at gigs. It didn’t go down well at a Manics gig but generally makes people laugh.
Single: Country House Album: What’s The Story Morning Glory
I dont think he does sing that
You are right, just looked it up, oh well.
yeah, I really can’t imagine Gary and co sat around in 1980 dressed like new romantic pirates smoking a massive bifter and pulling a whitey!
I’m pretty sure “To cut a long story short I lost my mind” is the line.
It is, you are right. I was at that point between 2nd & 3rd pint at a music quiz and that song came on for an intermission and someone sang the “pulled a whitey” bit and I then thought Wow. I prefer the misheard version. It is a decent song.
Single: Haddaway - What Is Love? Album: Oasis - (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?
I was obviously looking for the answer to two very important questions.
My first album was also supposed to be an Iron Maiden cassette but returned it because it was sides 3 and 4 of a double cassette album but I’d bought a single cassette album. They didn’t have the tape for the one I had originally chosen so I got this instead:
Never did buy, or even hear, an Iron Maiden album in the end.
I had this cassette. I utterly rinsed it, played it constantly!
Crossroads by Bon Jovi. Enjoyed it a lot at the time.

Love the fact that you bought a song about how great vinyl is on cassette
And why would you have any regrets. It’s fucking great.
