As Stewart Noted, the Lush song is actually called "500 (Shake Baby
Shake)" but I'm scratching my head on this one because I don't remember
a Belly song called "The Whale". Given that it's on a mix with a Lush
song from the mid-90s, I'm inclined to think it may be "Whale" by
Catatonia, which would sound similarly enough to Belly and was one of
their singles. It could be worth a shot. --Jason
I reply:
Hi Jason, and thanks for the galant try! <smile> I checked out the
Catatonia track and believe it or not, that's not the song I'm looking
for. On the other hand, that's a pretty cool track, I'll have to go back
and check the band out further. I've thanked Stewart (off board) for his
help with the Lush track. According to AMG and Amazon, it's titled,
simply "500". There was no way I was going to find it by looking with
"Shake Baby Shake". As Stewart noted, it was a single, so it probably
picked up the parenthetical (Shake Baby Shake) at some point. Anyway,
here are some lyrics from the "Whale" song, in case
anyone recognizes it:
Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea and
Think about the bubbles
You can take your teardrops
And drop 'em in a teacup
Take 'em down to the riverside
And throw over the side
To be swept up by a current ...
Also, I've ripped the song and converted it to a 192kbps mp3 file if
anyone is interested. Hey! We're playing Name That Tune! The winner gets
huge props (I'll use CAPS!) and my heartfelt thanks.
