103. English Beat: Save It For Later

Yikes! "Save it Fellator" is in the liner notes. "Just hold my hand while I come ... to a decision on it." Nasty stuff. Who knew?

Multi-instrumental song with the piano, strings (and not just violins) kicking in over the jangly guitars right from the start, with the gregarious, confident vocal with background vocals doing interesting stuff; more than just filling space. Later the rhythm section takes it's turn, and then the sax. Even some "ch ch"'s!! A surprising amount of stuff going on here.

The last 45 seconds is just plain fun, with the various instruments (here comes the tambourine) and the different vocalists taking turns popping in and out to wind it up.

Their wikipedia page fails to even mention this song. Somebody get on that or Jimbo Wales will be pissed.



RATING: 81.
