Under the Ivy BUTCHERED

[finley@lambda.uleth.ca (Kent Finley)]

Hi, y'all.

Just thought I'd share an amusing anecdote.  A couple friends of mine
started doing a weekly spot on the University radio station here in
Lethbridge.  I can get the station on cable, so I told them I'd give it
a listen.  They asked if I had any requests and, of course, I asked if
they'd play something by Kate Bush, the weirder the better.  So they
promised they'd look for some B-side amongst the yards of vinyl.

Anyway, the show comes on, they announce themselves and the fact that
they're new at this, so it'll probably be a little rusty.  Sure enough,
the first song they announce is "Under the Ivy".  The only problem is
IT'S PLAYING AT 33RPM INSTEAD OF 45!!!  After an agonizing half-minute
or so, while I'm trying to find the phone number for the station--I
didn't know if they thought that's what she was SUPPOSED to sound like--
suddenly the song's at normal speed, and I hear "Sorry about that, Kent"
voiced over!  

I thought it was priceless.  I even got it on tape!  (Just to be fair,
they also butchered the first few bars of a Talking Heads tune.)
