Subject: Song title or lyric: "45"
Written By: Spaff.com on 01/31/05 at 10:44 pm
My turn to ask for help.
I'm looking for a song from the late 90s that prominently features the lyric "forty-five." The meter goes something like
NA na-na-na NA-na na na forty-five
It's kinda bouncy alt-rock - I think with a British or Aussie accent - that has the same feel (and was around at the same time) as OMC's "How Bizarre."
Unfortunately, that's all I've got.
(It is NOT "45" by Shinedown.)
Anyone?

OK, it's been two weeks.
Nobody else has any ideas, and this is a long shot, but I'm gonna go with Ivor Biggun, (aka Ivor Biggun and the D. Kups) "Bras on 45". It's got a "45" in the chorus, and a chorus of "BRAS-on-FORTY-five, Bras-on-forty-five" in a NA-na NANA-na, na-na na-na-na" sort of bassline.
Any of this ring a bell?
Lyrics:
Well I went out for a boogie, a week ago last Tuesday
I was doing the Wigan Hustle and the Palais Glide
I met a girl in big suspenders and her boswams were stupendous
Like two bald-headed men sitting side by side
(She wore a bra size fourty-five, and she could jump and jive
And when she stopped dancing, bits of her kept wobbling about
She said you drive me crazy, burn some rubber on me Baby
She grabbed my little whistle and she began to shout...)
"Hit me with your rhythm stick! Hit me! Hit me!
Je t'adore, Ich liebe dic, Hit me, Hit me, Hit me!|
Hit me with your rhythm stick, I'm six feet tall and five feet thick!
Hit me, Hit me, Hit... me!"
(Bra size fourty-five, Bra size fourty-five)

Ivor has a website. And samples of his music online.

Actually, Chris (mrgazpacho) got it right away - "Brimful of Asha" by Cornershop. But thanks for reminding me of that "Stars on 45" parody, which I remember hearing on Dr. Demento back in the day. "Like two fat little boys wrestling under a blanket" - heh heh.

*snork* -- hey, just tried some - love your parodies! Long as we're walking down memory lane, if you remember an obscure 80s teen flick ("Losin' It") and a whorehouse piano player... you absolutely *must* check out John Valby.
By day, classical pianist under his real name, which remains undisclosed. By night, Dr. Dirty, filthiest piano player and parodist on the face of the earth. Still performs live if you're in the northeast. (No, I'm not him. Seen him live, though. Great guy, and really knows how to play a crowd.)

Thanx, Foo. I'll have to check him out. Any male who can get a paying job in a whorehouse has my utmost envy.
