You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It is an album by British pop group Hotlegs.

The album was released in 1976 after Hotlegs, a three-piece band from Stockport, near Manchester, had added a fourth member, Graham Gouldman, changed its name and achieved international chart success as 10cc.

The album was a revised version of Hotlegs' debut album, Thinks: School Stinks, which had included the band's hit single "Neanderthal Man".

Thinks: School Stinks is brilliant

Used to have "You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It" - there's a track on it with three movements called "Suite F.A."

Of course, it's an early line-up of 10CC so...jokes.

Something subtly so bad about the Henry Gross one, it's like "I literally just fucked this hot chick, now I'm ready to rock, I am a hero"

Plug me into something! Show me to the stage! Gimme something to write on! Hello? Hello! Is this thing on? Where's my tea? Shannon!

Saw a corner store tonight called "Buy The Way" and thought of this thread.

In addition to an orange and two apples, the fruit bowl on the bottom shelf of the table containing the wine appears to hold a softball.

Problems that may or may not be present. The resolution and composition of the photo makes it difficult to tell.

22. The walls of the room appear to be covered with exterior rather than interior plaster.
23. The palm-like plant to the left of the "wine" table does not appear to be planted in the pot beneath it.
24. The "shade" on the floor lamp in front of the open window appears to either be upside down or a bowl.
25. There appear to be odd things on top of the stereo receiver.

33. The photo on the cover of Andrew Gold's previous album (visible on the floor leaning against the music bench) might not look as it actually did when sold in stores. Ditto for the cover on the issue of People Magazine that is lying on the floor beneath the TV set. In fact, I'm not sure that Andrew Gold ever appeared on a People Magazine cover.

fucking dying at this, sorry y'all

I have that album and had never once noticed the hamburger bun containing a hotdog, thanks Bill Chapman

hearing this in Lionel Hutz "I'M NOT WEARING A TIE AT ALL" voice

omg i was seriously just thinking about the "not wearing a tie" bit today, lol

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 16 November 2014 01:20 (nine years ago) link

Ugh, just remembered Andrew Gold died super recently

www.andrewgold.com lets you "play" the album cover as a clicking game. Post your score to Facebook! Fair warning, it also auto-plays "Thank You For Being A Friend" in the background.

This is the album with Lonely Boy on it. Produced by Peter Asher. We cut it at night with the same band, studio, engineer that Linda used during the day while cutting her LP Hasten Down The Wind. The cover of this was often commented on as an original idea, which I unfortunately cannot take credit for. The genius behind this was Ethan Russell. There are 32 things wrong with the picture (see TRIVIA PAGE) . However, someone wrote me that the only thing wrong with the picture they could see was that on the back cover my shirt clashed terribly with my jacket. I liked that letter.

Aw, jeez. That's an xpost to myself above, sorry.

Good lord, I never realized "Whale Meat" was a pun, I just thought it was a stupid album title.

otm. Three years later, I only just got the pun today.

Ugh, just remembered Andrew Gold died super recently

He died a few years ago.

'Read On' was his second album btw, hence Vol II on the side of the book

whale meat again?

soref, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:32 (nine years ago) link

Oh, I've just looked it up and realised that's what the album is actually called. but it's a pun on 'we'll meet again' isn't it? do ppl know that song in the US?

soref, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:37 (nine years ago) link

The Byrds covered it on their first album.

Euripides' Trousers (Tom D.), Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:43 (nine years ago) link

I was wondering if it's best known through Dr Strangelove over there?

soref, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:45 (nine years ago) link

That's where the Byrds heard it

brimstead, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:49 (nine years ago) link

"Whale meat again" is the punch line of an ancient joke

why do I hate that thing (excluding imago, marcos) (wins), Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link

Xp Or maybe it was just its use in Dr Strangelove that inspired them to close the album with it.

brimstead, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link

^^In the liner notes to the album there's a dedication to Kubrick, so yeah.

Man that band always looks like the biggest bunch of thugs

you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 7 December 2014 23:09 (nine years ago) link

The song wasn't called "Born To Be Mild" (which would have been a great Rupert Holmes title born to this thread).

i think that one tipped the scale for me, I really do want to buy every record in the thread and wallpaper a building with them.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 December 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link

I've got my own building to build

Oh, so there's a copy of I've Got My Own Album To Do at my local alleyway shop, with a very flattering employee-pick sticker on it. The tracklist is pretty promising too. I think it was around eight bucks or I woulda just snapped it up. Is this actually a good album y/n?

Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 December 2014 18:42 (nine years ago) link

"Special thanks from the band to Cliff Richard"

Master of Treacle, Friday, 12 December 2014 20:39 (nine years ago) link

Great lineup of titles there too. "We Sure Do," "Not Afraid to Rock 'n' Roll"...

Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 December 2014 20:55 (nine years ago) link

The connection to Cliff Richard is that this Garth Hewitt guy was a sort of Christian rocker, though the thing is really messing with my head is that Bryn Haworth plays on the album too and I thought HE was Garth Hewitt (and vice versa).

Root It Oot (Tom D.), Friday, 12 December 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link

Oh, hold on, it gets worse, I just checked Bryn Haworth on wiki and he's a Christian too.

I came across this one yesterday and thought of this thread.
