I was hoping to write about the new British Sea Power EP Zeus earlier this week, but the Royal Mail decreed I would have to wait a week to receive it. Thoughts on that over the weekend, but initial listening shows it is fab.
Only minutes ago, I was quite disturbed by an advert for Cliff Richard's new album, which appears to take a big band/swing theme. Alright, not my bag, but whatever. But one of the songs he's covered is Willie Dixon's I Just Want To Make Love To You, best known for versions by Muddy Waters and Etta James.
As the title might suggest, it's a song about shagging. Nothing subtle, no subtexts. It's a song about not wanting anything else from someone except that one thing. And I have watched and heard with my own eyes and ears it being sung by Cliff Richard, a man who knows as much about sex as I did circa 1993. Truly, some things are beyond parody.
