I think she looks great

Going from heartland photo's I'm sure thats MarkFiend singing/shouting there..

As an interesting aside, Clint does cracking film soundtracks nowdays, mostly for Darren Aronofsky. Black Swan amongst them.

Awful record. The guy pretending to play the piano clearly has no idea what the actual notes are.

Well I never. I was quite a Poppies fan back in the day, but never knew there was any link between them and Pat.

I've got the (re-issued) CD that this track is from on my desk here (co-incidence, huh). Adam writes:

"We played 'Cicciolina' on Top Of The Pops, accompanied by Dan the Neds Aromic Distbin drummer, Patricia Morrison from the Sisters of Mercy on 'sampled' vocal and Eddie, Richard's best man from his wedding who once owned a trumpet. Well, why not?"

Pat looked gorgeous. I wouldnt listen to that song again for money though. Are all their songs similar bollocks?

The appeal of the Poppies is quite selective as I recall.

It's not me by the way

There other songs are similar - although that one had a novelty flavour about it.

They had a plan to get Cicciolina (an Italian politician/porn star) to present the World Cup at Italia '90 and this song was an attempt to persuade the world that this was a good idea.

Wise Up Sucker is still a classic but they are one of those bands who were a great night out at the time but haven't aged particularly well.

"And if you don't like the Poppies that's your hard luck..."

I think I remember seeing this on TOTP actually.

Wow, me, remember something from the 1990's, with my reputation?

That's Jeff Koons, not Cicciolina...

PWEI are a reminder of how many of the Girls' early contemporaries were adept at genre switching to ride the latest trend.
The Poppies were purveyors of a decent brand of Buzzcocks inspired pop punk before some idiot at RCA gave them a sampler and they became the cartoon clubber end of grebo - just as The Shamen put out a brilliant album of psychedelic pop before all that E-inspired sequencer stuff, and Primal Scream sounded like JAMC before getting a Weatherall makeover. At least SSV never got an official release.

"Beaver Patrol" anyone?

There's so many places I could go with that, and none of them are for the faint of heart Although I hear that Fat Pat is less "Beaver Patrol" and more "Growler Prowler"...

"Beaver Patrol" ? Someone was bound to say it.

"There is no love between us anymore" ?? "Dance of the Mad ... " ?? So many open goals...

At least no-one has made jibes to the effect that it isn't the first time that she's appeared on TOTP miming to a song she didn't perform on ...

Pfft. I remember how half the forum cacked their collective pants when she posted on here and called you out on that kind of talk..
Anyway, whats the betting you're all bald and seventeen stone??

You do? As I remember it the person claiming to be The Sugar-Frosted One was roundly drubbed and hasn't been seen in these parts since - after all, posting threats in an online forum is possibly the lowest form of life.
And for the record, I'm not bald. I could stand to lose a few pounds, though.

It's usually the least likely to be mistaken for Adonis reincarnate like males who comment on a womans weight. My father was very fond of it, despite being asked to play Father Christmas for the kids at the works party!
I seem to remember a lot of people didnt question her identity, more her daring to be angry at some of the comments made. As if they'd take a thread dedicated to calling them lardarse with a jolly smile..

I don't remember making comments about her weight. That would be cruel, and shallow, and beneath me.

I was making comments about her shape.

I seem to remember the opposite although there were some who believed.

the only significant achievement of Pop Will Eat Itself is this one:

collaborating on one of the fundamental Prodigy tracks.

That PatriciaVanian post

The only thing that makes me suspect it wasn't really her is the final line:

Now let me get back to this bucket of chicken I was eating.

I half-thought it was, and that was her dig at the people on here calling her fat...

But yeah, you're probably right.

It could be that too.

In some ways I hope it really was her.
