coprolite Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Punk name trivia! Malcolm McLaren called John Lydon Johnny Rotten because he had green teeth Johnny Rotten called John Beverly Sid Vicious after his bitey hamster Sid Vicious called John Wardle Jah Wobble because he was too mangled to speak properly. I'd like to think the chain continues, but i don't know it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Sorry if posted already, but the guy that composed and played arguably the most famous saxophone solo on the planet was session musician Raphael Ravenscroft. He played the sax on Gerry Raffertys Baker Street, and was paid £27.50 for the session. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he lost his fingers in an accident and can't play the sax no more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go better than that. Tell her that such regular massages will keep them away permanently. You read it on the internet. It also mentioned a nightly malt whisky just to be on the safe side. Might as well be sure. Edited June 26 by Salt n Vinegar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Careless whisper is in D minor but to record the saxophone solo the tape was slowed down so it could be recorded in D♭ minor and then sped up to normal which allowed Steve Gregory to hit a top note that would otherwise be impossible on Tenor Sax These days they'd just use autotune to fix that one note 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could not play it at the speed that you hear it so he played the piano at half the speed and then doubled the speed of the recording before attaching it to the song. Doubling the speed keeps it in the same key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great grandfather, grandfather and dad all died on the 13th. Different months but still get a bit nervous when I go to bed on the 12th. Another wee family fact, my family have produced 11 boys and no girls over 4 generations. Edited June 28 by Ya Bezzer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superwell87 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 In The Life of Brian, no one had heard the Incontinentia Buttocks joke before they shot the scene so all of the laughter was genuine. The big outburst of laughter was the cameraman who just lost it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
