Kiss Cream Carnival, Lime Sky Spooky Pills

4AD3DCD is an early example in the long series of HMHB songs mercilessly (for it can be no other way) lampooning indie or student bands. And it’s still one of the best. Thanks to Danny, Grev and gnick

    I always thought it was ‘Thank God Cardigan LEFT Crash Sunday School’

    …but I could be wrong.

    I never got ‘campus egg slicer’ before I saw it written down. Lyrics just don’t come any better than that.

    I’m pretty sure it is “laugh crash sunday school”…

  3. Neil G

    Do you think ‘you’re the man, Ray’ is a reference to Man Ray, the famous photographer? If so, why? Could it be a tacit comment upon the pretentiosness of the 4AD type artist? I have to admit to owning a 4AD CD, The Drift by Scott Walker, which is utterly brilliant. My only regret is it’s not a 3D one.

  4. Gareth

    Man Ray is a reference to the artist (so Colin McKay told me)
