SONG FACTS

Song Fact number 1...

Turn up the volume for the piano fade out of David Bowie's 'Life on Mars' where you can hear a phone ringing...turns out somebody left the studio door open...

Hence also the song MLK on the same album Pete?

Not necessarily mistakes Jen-just what a song might be about or why a certain noise or sound might be on it.

But while on the subject... ( ! )

The drummer on Van the man's Moondance song admitted to missing a snare drum beat on the intro just before the lyrics start. (except it's not a snare drum beat it's a 'rim shot',where the stick strikes the steel rim of the snare drum.)

However,he 'missed' the rim on the second bar just before the vocals. Like you say Jen-when you notice it first it never goes away then!

Rolling Stones 'Satisfaction'.

At the end of each verse,just before the guitar riff comes back in,you can hear an audible 'click' each time as Richards puts his foot on an effects pedal...

Bono has since held his hand up about this one (early morning april 4th)and has stated he got it wrong ,and when he sings it live now he says (early evening april 4th) 

On Journey,s song ,Dont stop believing,they say ,(Just a city boy/born and raised in South Detroit),,,,thing is their is no South Detroit,otherwise you would be in Canada,,,God i need to get out more often 

The Rolling Stones classic album Sticky Fingers with it's iconic Andy Warhol concept cover caused more than a few upsets on it's first release.

The album was (at great cost) designed with a real zip on a pair of trousers (thought to be worn by Jagger but was later revealed to be a model) which you could zip up and down.

Apart from the sexist and pornographical implications it was found that when packaged in large amounts,the zip would push into the record above it,damaging it's cover and the vinyl within,typically scratching the grooves on 'Sister Morphine'.

After nearly coming to legal costs with Atlantic,the answer was staring the designers in the face-simply unzip the zipper before shipment...
