Nice little Bentham doodle based on that Paul + Linda McCartney song bc I’ve been thinking he’d absolutely love it, I’m so close to having his voice claim be Paul because of all the Beatles songs I relate him to, and that voice he puts on in the first half I can so hear him in it . Slight bit of analysis below the cut

I think Bentham would love the theme of connection across the world, after all, that’s his thing. It also conjured to mind that image of him putting his hands up like he’s “reaching for a pull up bar” because I think it’s sweet how enthusiastic he is about it all. I wish he’d have had more time with the panloopticon. I think he deserved that.

All that talk of “live a little, get around.” I think he was cursed by his exile in exactly the worst way, he was trapped in one spot. Both his siblings kind of took that away from him, intentionally or not, in their individual punishments. If you put on that song for him he’d have more fond memories than painful. He’d probably start talking to you for an hour or two about the places he’s been, things he’s done.

I mentioned he could have a record and cd collection as part of his museum recently elsewhere, to show the future as well as the past since he lives in the 1880s, and, this would probably be one of his favourites.

Anyway. If you can’t tell I love this song too.

Q: Did you listen to Ram? A: Yes, of course I did. A couple of times. The first time I heard it I thought, fucking hell, it was awful. And then, ahem, the second time I fixed the record player a bit, and it sounded better. I enjoyed a couple, like a little bit of ‘My Dog It’s Got Three Legs’ or something, and the intro to ‘Ram On’ and the intro to ‘Uncle Albert’. I can’t STAND the second track from the… I mean, well, that doesn’t matter anyway.[…]I was really surprised when I saw that bit…

(John Lennon, August 7th, 1971, interview with Alan Smith for NME)

Both John and I had a great love for music hall, what the Americans call vaudeville… I very much liked that old crooner style, the strange fruity voice that they used, so Honey Pie was me writing one of them to an imaginary woman, across the ocean, on the silver screen, who was called Honey Pie. It’s another of my fantasy songs.[…]

(Paul McCartney in Many Years From Now by Barry Miles)

…the butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie…

hands across the water heads across the sky hands…ahem…across the…ahem…

honey pie you are making me crazy I'm in love but I'm lazy so won't you please come home?

oh honey pie you are driving me frantic sail across the Atlantic to be where you belong* honey pie, come back to me

*get back to where you once belonged

nothing is more embarrassing than being in public and taking out your earbuds and realizing you've been living in musical world and practically skipping down the sidewalk this whole time when in fact no one else can hear your soundtrack

Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey - Paul McCartney

[rastronomicals]

11:45 PM EDT June 12, 2024:

Paul & Linda McCartney - "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" From the album Wings Greatest (November 10, 1978)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

So, the story was told in this documentary on Hipgnosis I watched, that the design team built the statue of Britannia you see, then flew to the Himalayas so that it could planted in the authentically Tibetan snows for the cover pic, rather than, I don't know, dumping some ice in an industrial sink or something and then taking the picture of the statue there--but *telling* people they went to Tibet, and--oh OK, I see what happened here.

Middle kiddo was doing her ADHD thing of humming a single line from a song over and over again. It was driving me absolutely nuts because whatever she was humming was reminding me of an old as balls song my dad used to play when I was little. This happens a lot. I can remember tiny little snatches of melody, but not enough that I can actually look up the song, so these ghost melodies haunt my brain and make me itchy. (That’s MY adhd thing) She was humming it over and over again and it was setting my brain on fire so I kept asking her to stop.

Yesterday instead of just humming it she actually said some lyrics and I should have remembered that this kid only listens to retro music, because would you look at that, she was not humming something that sounded LIKE this old phantom song, she was actually humming THE old phantom song, and then I was able to find out what song it was and finally exorcise its ghost from my brain.
