XTC Sailor?
Mar 15, 2007, 21:45
Is it just me or does the way the singer in Sailor sings "you've got the figure" in 'A Glass of Champagne' sounds exactly like Andy Partridge.

I also hear John Lennon's voice in the harmonies on "My Sweet Lord". Pretty sure he wasn't on it though.

Any more examples of this kind of thing?

Yeah, Bryan Ferry singing "We Don't Care" on Sign of the Times is alot like Johnny Rotten singing "We Don't Care" on Pretty Vacant. I can't work out which came first.
