Barney Rubble Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Possibly the single best live version of this song, and maybe of any song, ever: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was your conclusion? Only musical work I know to feature Wishaw - immortalised in song! Edited February 2, 2020 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 26 minutes ago, exile said: What was your conclusion? Only musical work I know to feature Wishaw - immortalised in song! The context was that last Friday night, I was watching Golcar United (nearby village to me) v. St Helens Town at a neutral ground 20 miles away in Oldham. In the crowd of around 170, I got chatting to a groundhopper from the Midlands taking that game in on the way to Ayrshire for a Junior game. So we got chatting about Ayrshire & he was very knowledgeable about football generally. So needing to out-nerd him somehow, I said “I bet you can’t name a song that mentions going to an away match in Kilmarnock?” He couldn’t so I was able to tell him (and sing the relevant bit) with a self-satisfied smug grin.

Huddersfield Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Tragically, when we passed G, I felt it was a bit inappropriate to put up my first ever single, so here's my second. I still don't have a bloody clue what this song is supposed to be about. Suzi Quatro also holds the honour of being the first time I ever looked at female & thought beyond 'why are they always wanting to do skipping where we play football?'

Stevie Nicks Quote The song has long been assumed to be about male menopause. However, according to the British writer D. J. Taylor, one alternative theory is that, having boasted of their ability to write "a song about anything", Chapman and Chinn were issued with the challenge to come up with a treatment of the 1848 United States economic crisis.
