Bicycle Race
Description
Sixty five professional female models, sixty five bicycle seats that Halfords wouldn't accept when returned, 36 repetitions of the word bicycle. Seventy eight live performances, one hundred and one weeks on global charts, over one million units sold in the US alone and one Rolling Stone reporter sickened and outraged. Not bad for a three minute pop song featuring four musical geniuses credited with playing bicycle bells. That's Jazz!
If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “Everyone likes boobs” or possibly, “I want to ride my bike”
Today's episode looks at the gloriously camp end-of-the-pier lark, "Bicycle Race" from the equally eclectic and bewildering "Jazz"
NOTE: Skip forward to 13:42 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The song featured at the end of this week's episode is Kev's Dear John letter to the USA, "America". Check it out here: https://youtu.be/lmPOZ6ZE090
