I hated it when that guy pulled the gun.

I know how you feel. Imagine my predicament that time Geordie fell off stage singing "Theme from Ming mang mong".

It's alright for you, he hardly ever even bothers to tune me up nowadays, I just sit here in the back room, collecting dust with the Catherine Wheel and Ride 12 inches.

That's not funny - I'm going to get you kicked off this notice board just as soon as I've tried to sleep with your girlfriend

Apparently Scottish mick's coracle has a hole in it so he's just goin round in circles in an oslo fjord, sinking very gradually. Even Harvey Another Sunny Day couldn't help, although he did write a song about how he couldn't get any girls, which didn't help the Scottish one much.

prolapse fans argue whether "the italian flag" or "pointless walks..." is better

I'd like to wish everyone on this thread a Merry Ming Mang Mong Christmas and a Prosperous Prolapse new year.

Phillip Drongo, Monday, 19 December 2005 20:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Hear Hear ! I shall be seeing in the new year dancing naked to "Pointless walks from dismal places" as usual.

Gordon Thring, Monday, 19 December 2005 20:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I prefer the italian flag, but agree that nude is the only way to listen to Prolapse.

Ralf Hutter, Monday, 19 December 2005 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I like to fondle my Prolapse while thinking of Geordie Mick and listening to "Back Saturday".

Dame Margaret Trousers, Monday, 19 December 2005 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I love you all, as ever.

hey kids, start jumping up and down like idiots!
the longawaited Prolapse/Pastels collaboration might be coming sooner than you think!
after a high level summit over the xmas period, Scottish Mick was quoted as saying "aye, its gonna be crackin. me an the Pastels ur gonnae record th ultimate c86 song. ahm gonna drink fizzy ribena oot a jug, sorta like th Thirteenth Flair Elevaters but mair twee. wit? gonnae gieus a pint?"
Stephen Pastels statement read thus : "keep that drunken oaf away from me or i'll set Aggi on him. got it?"

I am, like, so totally listening to the Inside Ov A Rough Trade Shop right now...

(Oh yeah, to stay in keeping with the tone of this thread, I heard that Scottish Mick has assembled an army of ANGRY VIKINGS and is coming over to destroy all former members of Dalmation Rex & The Eigentones with pointy things, or something along those lines.)

Ming Mang Mong are playing a valentine's day special at 'the Lansdowne' in Leicester. As a special romantic treat, Geordie Mick is allowing all the girls in the audience to sit on his knee, one by one, for 10 seconds each. Mick will also grant the first 10 men in the audience 'a knee sit' as long as they don't do it 'in a gay way'.

Edwold Funchen, Monday, 13 February 2006 14:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Not to be outdone, Scottish Mick is planning on parachuting into the Lansdowne from Oslo, and invading the Ming Mang Mong gig by jumping up and down on all the tables in the pub until they break, rendering them useless. He is then going to have a face off with Geordie Mick MC style! The two will try to 'out rap' each other into the small hours, using their shared experiences of leicester old man pubs back in the day. Should be an experience to remember!

Sarah Firebrand, Tuesday, 14 February 2006 11:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Apparently the MC face off went without a hitch, although Geordie's famous cider filled glokenspeil is now very, very, very, out of tune!

Kelvin Hewick, Wednesday, 15 February 2006 14:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I was there all day and I saw nothing except Kevin 'Bloody' Hewick waiting at the bus stop opposite.

Tim Brooke Tinker, Friday, 17 February 2006 00:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Here's One of Scottish Mick's raps from t'other night at the Lansdowne, when he was trying to win the MC face off with geordie. Here he attempts to berate the angry bassist by reminding him of the time he couldn't take his cider at the King Richard the III pub, on Highcross Street.


"Oh Micky, running round and round,
Watch your footing, don't break the ground.
Naughty Micky, kicking arse,
You like drinking cider, you don't smoke grass.
Oh naughty Micky, making hay,
With cider drink - You're not gay.
But take this heed, warrior brave,
Your weakness is how you treat your slave.
You scolded him for drinking gin,
And because he made an horrendous din,
So in your cider he placed laxatives,
And now you've got your girl in fits,
As she watches you poop a stream of cack,
As you're wearing your bunnymen mac."

Hamish McMcMcMcAlpine, Friday, 17 February 2006 14:06 (eighteen years ago) link

And here was Geordie Mick's slightly defensive reply!

"Now I'm sonic and bionic,
I don't drink gin and tonic,
As I feel the chronic like a spider,
And drink a little cider.
To the world in my office,
I send another missive.
Is there anybody out there,
Or has everyone gone off it?
I deliberate on the moment,
Will I ever have atonement?
The now feels 'wow',
As I imagine my opponent,
Reading this recital,
I don't suppose this line is vital,
As I'm feeling fairly tribal,
As I sense the awe insightful,
Cause of much perspective,
In this civilised community,
But with impunity currently,
I wait for something to amuse me,
But I've lost my sense of humour,
It fell out of my brain,
But I'll try to scrape it up again,
Because it is my main game."

Hartley the Hare, Friday, 17 February 2006 17:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Scottish Mick countered back with this awesome Rabbie Burns alike verse:

Ming Mang Mong Man
The way you carry on and
Drink your white cider
like a chronic spider
is causing irritation
like colonic irrigation
spouting streams of shit
from your nonsense talking lips
You're off yer heid
and what you need
is a braw wee coracle
to soothe awa yer pain
cool doon yer brane
Ye think yer like an oracle
preaching in Spain
but yer just insane
Yer more like an orifice
and I'm getting sick of this

At this point Geordie Mick and the Percy-Posse huffed out of the room and pulled faces through the window of the Landsdown until the bouncer told them to stop it or get lost. They then returned to the bar with their parkas between their legs and glowered at Scottish Mick over their White Ciders with strawberry daiquiri chasers.

Fabian Haggis, Friday, 17 February 2006 17:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone got an e-mail address for Scottish Mick?

We're off to play Emmaboda in Sweden this summer, we need a ukulele technician and I reckon if we take a bottle of special Irn Bru then we could tempt him down from the north...

Boy, it really is hard to find a (CD) copy of "Pointless Walks to Dismal Places". Anyone have any ideas?

paulhw (paulhw), Saturday, 18 February 2006 02:08 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah real difficult http://www.cherryred.co.uk/cherryred/artists/prolapse.htm

zappi (joni), Saturday, 18 February 2006 08:05 (eighteen years ago) link

Fantastic - thank you! Anyone know when the (CD) of Ming Mang Mongs new single is out? It's a very fashionable mash up of Stereolab and the soundtrack to Peter Jacksons latest box office smash and is rumoured to be titled Ping Mang Kong. At any rate, this promises to be the first retrospectively seminal nu-jazz work of February 2006.

pau1hw, Saturday, 18 February 2006 13:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Bored of being beaten in the MC face off thing, Geordie Mick has cunningly turned his attention to starting off yet another goth revival. This time he has enlisted the help of Eddie Dark (ex drummer for Lawnmower Deth) who has helped him write the lyrics for this toe tapping classic, soon to be top of the playlist at XFM. This could be this years surprise breakthrough hit for the Ming Mang Mongsters. Jo Wiley loves it already, apparently....It's called simply, Blackness.

"blackness"

"blackness
is black
so black
so very black
so very very black
it's blackness
like my heart
is black
filled with blackness
which is black
so black
so very black
so very very black
if i was french
i would be noir
which sounds cool
but is not
because of my blackness
so very very very black"

Zippi, Saturday, 18 February 2006 18:20 (eighteen years ago) link

This thread should never be allowed to die.
But also: really, really want a copy (CD) of their first album, which I once owned ("Pointless Walks to Dismal Places"). There are some used on Amazon for US$28 - does anyone have any better ideas about how / where to buy it?

paulhw (paulhw), Friday, 24 February 2006 22:33 (eighteen years ago) link

You can find Pointless Walks to Dismal Places (and others) @ emusic.com

I showed up in '96 to see Stereolab & these guys blew me away.

OK, so I've never heard Prolapse or even read this thread, but I'm sick and fuckin' tired of seeing the damn Prolapse thread everyday, so DUD.

Scottish Mick has recently become obsessed with pygmy marmosets, and is planning on opening a shop to sell them as pets to norwegian folk. He likes them epsecially because they look like small versions of the little old men he used to drink with on his jaunts round various old mens pubs around leicester.

He has also grown his hair big and spangly again, and is avaialable for hire as a giant version of Alex Harvey, and will perform his coffee table routine for the price of a can or irn bru.

Geordie Mick has formed a new band called Funky Mongoose and has been secretly recording a concept album about tainted foodstuffs. Tracks recorded so far are Mustard in the custard, Confetti in the spaghetti, and Half of Norwich is sitting in my porridge. More news as and when.

Milly the Mole, Sunday, 5 March 2006 00:16 (eighteen years ago) link

The other members of Ming Mang Mong have reacted swiftly to news that Geordie Mick has secretly formed another band and have SACKED him ! They intend to carry on as Ming Mang Mong Minus One.

Richard B, Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Other tracks from the forthcoming Funky Mongoose album are now believed to include 'mucous in the cous-cous', 'spider in the cider' and the highly conceptual 'fear in my beer'. The latter track contains lyrics which ruminate on whether or not to drink a 15 years out of date can of Fine Fare Green Sunshine lager bought for 5p from Croft car boot sale.

Dudley McClassic, Sunday, 5 March 2006 18:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Boy, it really is hard to find a (CD) copy of "Pointless Walks to Dismal Places". Anyone have any ideas?

£3.70 including postage on eBay got me this unobtainable collectors item. I'm prepared to sell it on in exchange for any of the Funky Mongoose material, especially the uber-rare 'Mice With Lice In My Rice..Nice'.

Menzies Cambell has joined Ming Mang Mong who, inevitably, are now known as Menzies Mang Mong. The Lib Dem leader surprised colleagues with an anouncement at his victory press conference that he would be taking the party in a new Prog/Kraut direction, abandoning such policies as a 50% income tax band and greater investment in public services and replacing them with a classic rock band instrumentation, ambient electronic textures and a pulsing 'motorik' rhythm section. Media reports that oh i can't be bothered anymore
