Jimmy Nail - Ain't No Doubt

[Nick]

Because it's a bit of a one-off curiosity-tinged corker, but a corker nonetheless.

And a thoroughly deserving number one. If only for the whole phone-call thing that was going on in the video (and on TOTP, I seem to remember). And the switchboardy noises in the middle.

Woman's lips: I don't want nobody else, I love you.
Jimmy Nail: She's lying.
Woman's lips: There won't be somebody else and that's truuuuue...
Jimmy Nail: She's lying!
etc.

An excellent choice! I've got this on tape somewhere... I will dig it out and phone up my sister and we'll re-enact it over the tefelone!

Ain't no doubt it's plain to see .... so much better than Crocodile Shoes

marvin gaye used to do a simmilar thing with a telephone for the start of ......grapevine.


on fairly crap live cds of his last tour you can hear him doing this. [his voice still maintains its fabulous quality, so they're still worthwhile] you can also hear his cocaine paranioa seping though when he asks about the colour of his water [its actually in a red glass, but clear, regular water]. but thats by the by.

phone conversations in songs are bloody great.

as is the clarinet solo in crocadile shoes, as clarinet solos are wont to be.

Jimmy Nail is a musical genius!!!


I'm off to play my Crocadile Shoes CD. ;D

further to that, actual telephone sounds on songs can be irritating as fuck.

you are happily listening to music and then you turn round, looking for the phone like a twat.
