  • Kirsty's version of her song "Terry" was released over a year before Tracey Ullman's cover. Both were minor UK hits. Another great Stiff Records video clip with a cameo appearance by Ade Edmondson.

To this day, it cuts me up inside to think of what happened to her......gonna have to sit on that bench some time.

    She played in Cleveland with the Pogues, sometime in the 1980s, it was a blizzard outside and there were only about 40 people in the audience, they played all kinds of songs then came out to the bar in the back and bought everyone drinks. She was pretty, talented and a delight. A saint.

      You can do some research now that you have an idea of apparent story arran, well that's if you want to of course. She was hit by a speedboat that was prohibited to be in the swimming area.

    Kristy songs came out an era or two too early to be appreciated back in the late 70s. Her songs grew in us as time passes by. And now it just haunting us. "I don't want to change the world. I'm not looking for a new England..." not written by her but it sums up the creativeness of Kristy. RIP Kristy MacColl.

    • @jeframp3805
      @jeframp3805 2 роки тому

      Her first song was 1979 and that was they don't know, all of her other songs where 80s such as this New England and Fairy-tale of new york. Then of course she continued to produce more music until her death in 2000. Her layering of voices is something she perfected earlier on than anyone else (it had been done in the 60s but not to the extent kirsty did where she did all of her own backing etc) really and songs like "days" where really cutting edge. Walking down madison was an example of too early for its time, as was some of the 2000 stuff which had the Mexican theme and you think of the song "havana" and some of the tropical brainstorm and you can see how ahead she was. " Angel" is another song that is produced very well for its time, all of her songs had a clean feel that you didn't get with other artists. Even in the 80s she didn't seem to use the tinny sythns and drum machines. She was very unique really.

    At some time in "Terry" Kirsty Mccoll sings "I know" many times after each other.
    How many:
    10, 11, 12 or 13?
    To my surprise 8 out of ten had the answer right!
    Take your guess, then play the song and check.

    Love this song. Oddly, some of the scenes appear to have been filmed in Arnos Grove, North London which is where the Tracy Ullman version also seems to have been filmed.

      The band & dance scenes L@@K like they were filmed in "The Dublin Castle" in Camden ...

    Glad that in both this and Tracey's take, the right guy wins.
