I am chameleon, comedian, Corinthian and caricature

I am shamelessly earwigging on a conversation between a couple on the train. They were (briefly) arguing about whether a film they saw last year was brilliant, or rubbish.

This is has now been resolved, when one half of the argument realised it had confused Prometheus with Coriolanus :)

Hmm, it seems your spelling is better than mine. I thought it was "I am"... but then googling for the lyrics, my favourite site gives it (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/davidbowie/thebewlaybrothers.html) as "he is"!

Mind you, whoever wrote those lyrics thinks it's "Camelian", so either doesn't know what they're talking about, or knows much more than me.

Ok, there is one way to solve this.
*finds mp3 player, undoes squilliontuple knot in headphones*
Yes, it's "he is", it's after the brother dies.

Goddamn I forgot how awesome Bowie is.

I had a smiliar idea, but with YouTube and without the knot in the headphone cable, and I concur that it is "he is".

I had Hunky Dory on when I was wrapping Christmas presents, and concur also that Bowie is awesome.

What is this non-knotting headphone cable of which you speak?

[venta.livejournal.com]

I have large over-ear style headphones at work, and when their regular cable broke I bodged them with a rather industrial-looking cable which is far too thick to knot up when lying on a desk.

My mp3 player headphones are a completely different story, of course :)

7 hours later the damn song is still in my head. I am going to dream of David Bowie frightening small children away and asking me to give him gravy. I hope you're happy!

Venta has that effect on people, yes :)

On the contrary, I'm very sorry! Try the theme from The Muppets, it's pretty good for ousting other earworms (though may result in Muppet earworms instead...)
