Subject: Song not mentioned in the FAQ...

I have an audio tape, put out by the BBC, of the British comedy show "Not The Nine O'Clock News". It is copyright 1978 or '79, if I recall correctly. There's a lot of comedy skits on it, as well as music parodies. One of them is a song called "England My Leotard", and is apparently Kate parodying herself. I did a quick scan of the FAQ, but I didn't see this mentioned. It really is Kate singing. I don't think anyone can impersonate her quite that well. Plus the liner says "Kate Bush Music/EMI". Does anyone know any background info on this? I'd post the lyrics, but I can't understand all of them. :) And I'm a native Brit... One of the more humorous lines though, is when she sings "It's not your mind, it's your body they're into / my business manager said. / He told me I need an intellect like I need a / hole in the hole in the hole in the head." It is a perfect parody of her musical style during that period. Any thoughts? -- Steven Frank | @ | Spira Computer Support stevenf@europa.com |_____| spira@europa.com http://www.europa.com/~stevenf |SPIRA| Personal Computer Consultant
