A dangerous experiment.... will we be tackling Experiment IV next time? Or Houdini?
Back to this post. I spotted the title on my phone, before I had time to sit down and read, and that was enough to load Hammer Horror into my head for the next few hours. Oh it is so catchy, but I always found it a puzzling song. It doesn't have the genuine mystery of her other work. I know Lionheart was a rush job for her, but she still managed some sublime songs on it (Symphony in Blue, In Search of Peter Pan, Oh England My Lionheart). But your remit is horror, and HH was the right thing to do.
You're right, but I won't tell you which guess! I know what you mean, it's a bit more on-the-nose and perhaps more interested in being fun than mysterious? It's very much a homage to a genre so maybe that's why the main character feels flatter? It feels related to Wow as well, Bush is obviously interested in the way that showbiz rivalry plays out...
Interesting! I'm a huge KB fan, and shall have to give that another listen!
Excellent! Thanks, Gareth
Fascinating background on the song. Thanks!
Thanks, Bob!
