Blunt sense of humour...
Just read an article on the Guardian about Fiest doing "1,2,3" on Sesame Street which also includes a brilliant clip of proving he has a sense of humour by turning his biggest hit into a tribute to a beloved lost 'triangle'. I can't make up my mind about the best line in the song. It's either "This shape was brilliant, this shape was pure, I saw three angles of that I'm sure" or " I saw your shape in a crowded place". Well worth a watch...

The single got to number 11 and namechecks Mott the Hoople with line ' down in the city, just Hoople and me'. Brian May would have written this song round about the time when Mott the Hoople invited Queen to support them on tour in 73/74ish.

Can't think of any others but I'm sure as soon as I submit this more will come to me.

(Just found the Blog.) While we are at the fruit suggestions, how about David Essex, Oh! What a Citrus or anything by Moby Grape?
You keep the distance home from Aberdeen very short. Sometimes I have to drive slower. Keep it up. Sam
