Frazier Chorus

Mr. Odd was right about their mellow cover of Sex Pistols' "Anarchy In The UK". I was never the same after I heard that.

something about the wet blanket delicateness of Frazier Chorus that makes for perfect Sunday evening listening

They have a song about going to a Little Chef for dinner ffs

Hey baby I hear the blues a'callin'
Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs,
And maybe I seem a bit confused
Well, maybe, but I got you pegged
But I don't know what to do with those
Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs
They're callin' again
Frasier has left the building!

I'd totally forgotten about "Nothing" - thanks for reviving the thread!

I remember when this came out I used to confuse them with the Beloved because "Nothing" basically sounds like an alterate take on "The Sun Rising".

They did a great mellow cover of "Anarchy In The UK" on one of their singles. I think it was the one that came in heart-shaped packaging.

This just popped up on a thread somewhere. Unlikely covers or something.

Great band, I was living in Brighton when they were around and saw them a fair few times. Sue was a fine début, especially the singles "Sloppy Heart" and "Typical" which I used to play to death back in the day. Having said that I lost interest after that when they went all trancey-dancey. The cover of "Anarchy" is on the b-side of the "Sloppy Heart" single and the Cherry Red reissue of the album, and is well worth hearing. Funnily enough I always thought Tim bore a passing resemblance to John Lydon which certainly added to the strangeness of their version.

I love "Typical". Unusual song; instead of a chorus it gets that lovely instrumental break instead. Kudos for having the phrase "buggering off" in a song too.

"...and I close my eyes with my eyelids"

"They have a song about going to a Little Chef for dinner ffs"

This is why they were as good as they were
