I’ve written so many love letters to last.fm already, I hardly need add another.
But my love for the service is captured by my experience in just the past 2 songs (it’s on now):
Savoy Truffle, the George Harrison gem from the White Album
Grandaddy doing a cover of Fun Fun Fun.
It’s the discovery of new (or in the case of savoy truffle, the rediscovery of old) music that Last.fm does so well. For me, anyway.
The lyrics to Savoy Truffle now…
Creme tangerine and montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee desert - yes you know its good news
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we’re apart
Coconut fudge - really blows down those blues
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You’re going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You’re going to shout aloud
- Creme tangerine.
You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour -
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are ? . . .
Creme tangerine and montelimar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee desert - yes you know its good news
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
