Wildhearts Ultra-trivia

Postby WiredOut » 10th Apr 09, 05:01

Ok, let's see how far up our arses we've truly stuffed our WH anoraks.

This thread is for the quizzing of other board members of tiny and/or obscure details and facts of which the Ginger one himself may even have forgotten or be unaware of.

I guess I should start. Which Wildhearts track apparently exhorts you, very faintly, to 'Remember you're a Womble!' at approximately the 27-second mark? Headphones recommended for this one. :)

Edit: listening to it now, it might possibly but less likelily (A neologism? Who came up with that word anyway? 'I've invented a new word that means "a newly invented word."' 'You've done what exactly, old boy?' 'I've named the neologism, it's a neologism.' 'It's a what? What are you blathering about, you utter Rupert? Stop using, erm, you know, made-up words. Honestly.' Etc.) be 'Remember you're a Wildheart,' but what kind of lunatic could possibly look around at their life and forget they were one of Those? Especially in 199- aha! You thought I was actually gonna give you a year there eh, you scheming buggers! ;)

Maybe not as obscure this one but which Wildhearts track apparently featured a didgeredoo?

Not a billion percent sure nor ideally fact-objective on this one admittedly but I'm sure I saw either Ginger or Danny mention it in a magazine somewhere.

I think if I'm right that it kicks in at the 2:34 mark.

There was one of those 'at home with' articles (think it was Metal Hammer) with Danny which showed him playing a didgeredoo. Probably not the weirdest instrument they've featured, thinking about it. Bagpipes, banjos, cars, stepladders...

Yeah I remember that article although I'm unsure if I got the song detail from there.

Also sounds like you could fashion a question out of that kind of knowledge?

If there was, for example, some kind of quiz on...? :)

The bagpipes where Give The Girl a Gun (obviously), I'm wondering if the rest where on Schizophonic or Do The Channel Bop as I remember that interview was around the time the original fanclub version got released
Did you just say "Pig Flute"?

My intention was that anyone could pose or attempt to answer questions to test each others' knowledge, like a big quizzy free-for-all conversation thingymajob. :)

But no, it's not Lovebank.

Ah I know the answer now, but I won't say unless anyone else wants to play.

Easy one - Where did The Wildhearts sign their contract with Mushroom records?

No, not that. Not that I know of anyway, although with all that racket going on there could be UFOs shooting at the band in there for all anyone knows.

Ooh! I know! Outside East West's offices in London. I've recently looked at that Kerrang! photo special from a wee while ago with that happening in it.

QUESTION! SLIGHTLY TANGENTIAL! Which generally Wildhearts-friendly NME writer awarded Endless Nameless a stonking 5/10 (well, it's more than some people on here would give it) and The Best of The Wildhearts a healthier 8/10 in the NME?

And are we remembering the Wombles? :)

I have never read the NME so no idea, I do remember reading in a Wh fanzine how one of their writers gave Fishing For Luckies a really negative review then in the same issue was geting very excited over the Boo Radleys' latest.

Yeah that FFL review was by James Oldham, he was very anti-Wildhearts. I remember his single review of The Yo-Yos' Sunshine Girl called The Wildhearts 'vomit rockers' and said Danny had a singing voice 'like a dog in a pub.' :)
