      I went to a music industry workshop where mr c was one of the speakers and he said that they justified the chorus with the line "his friends called him ezzer he is the main geezer" so legally the bbc had no grounds to ban it.

      I recommend to read a few books. Actually all senses can trigger memories - a certain temperature on our skin on a sunny day, a smell/scent, a word. Music is just the easiest because we surround ourselves with it in most of our awaken hours (some people even keeps music playing while they sleep), and in the age of internet it's easy to access almost any songs, while a scent/warmth/word/touch/etc is harder.

"A subsequent inquest determined that her death was not directly caused by the consumption of ecstasy, but rather the result of the large quantity of water she had consumed.[10] She had apparently been in observation of an advisory warning commonly given to ravers which stated drinking water would help her avoid dehydration as a result of continuous dancing. Leah had been at home with friends and had not been dancing, yet consumed about 7 litres (12 imp pt; 1.8 US gal) of water in less than 90 minutes. This resulted in water intoxication and hyponatremia, which in turn led to serious swelling of the brain, irreparably damaging it."

    Years went on and i could never find the tape and this was before the internet i didnt know what this song was called or even the lyrics, the only thing i remembered vividily was the techno beat and that maniacal laugh.
    I would ask all my friends if they remembered the song and noone could. Over time i managed to find every single song from my youth except this one.
    Then a few years ago it randomly appeared on tv as part of "songs that turn X amount of years" and i literally screamed when i saw it and told my wife to write it down and downloaded it immediately.
    The final song was found. It was good. Ebeneezer goode 😊

      @Thunderous One Born in 65 so for me 1969 - 2010.
      Experienced hippy, funk, folk, pop, prog rock, soft rock, glam, disco, hard rock, heavy metal, punk, ska, white reggae, new wave, goth, club house, hip-hop, rap, grunge, shoegaze, techno, trance, indy, post rock in that order.
      Nothing new since 2010 ( I'm not a fan of K-Pop, divas, reality stars etc) . I've rediscovered Opera trance, Slavic funk and Japanese shoegaze. There's many styles I've missed over the last 50 years , now's the time to find them seeing as I find 99% of music produced since 2010 boring, souless and trite.

      @@graphite2786 I think nowadays it's called "breathy whining" a la Sheeran. No Bowie, Pulp, bauhaus, Queen, Banshees........just nothingness.

      It meant to catch the feeling of being on Esctasy (E).
      The video of "Ca Plane Pour Moi" (probably the same director) meant to capture LSD.
