Yes, good tune to be sure. I think the one XTC song that I never want to hear again is Dear God. Skylarking was a better album without including that atheist drivel, but they added it into the running order after it became a surprise hit on its own (thankfully, I have the original release that doesn't include Dear God). Not one of Andy's finer moments, but I can forgive him given all the other great songs he created.

There’s only one reasonable answer for the musically-educated, which is “Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention”; and all serious discussion would be who the second choice was to be.

Cream My music promoter cousin hooked me up as Ginger Baker's videographer for his jazz band in the 90's. I had ZERO clue who he or Cream was and couldn't name a single song. I got to know him and his (then) wife Karen over a couple years. I look back at that and just shake my head at how ignorant I was of his legendary status. Maybe that's why he liked me. To me, it's now like being buddies with Mick Jagger only to find out who he really was, decades later. Such a waste.
