Can't get you out of my head

[venta]

OK, this is an even longer shot than last time...


Yup, something else I can't quite pin down is stuck in my head.

This time, all you're getting to go on is that the line ends "...Victoria, Victoria.". It's quite fast, and it's a bloke singing. I don't think it's the Kinks' song. In fact, I'm wondering if it might be filed in my head in the same section as "obscure New Zealand stuff" - but it isn't Victoria by The Exponents either.

No, I don't expect anyone will get it from that description. Still, one can but try.

Update: Gotcha!
Once again, I throw everyone off by getting a key fact wrong. In this case, it wasn't a bloke singing :( Nor was it from NZ, though it's hardly scure:

Avoid the cliches of the time
Towing the standard lover's line
We drag around a ball and chain
Morals of old victoria, victoria

- Surplus, by Psychophile.

Y'know, I can't help thinking they mean "toeing" there :)

Also, I want to know where this excessive use of the phrase "That is all." originates from. Come on, mr_tom, you're one of the worst culprits. Tell!

Back-of-the-mind - is it Victoria by The Fall?

I don't think so. I'm not aware of knowing that song. I'll have to listen to a copy of it to check - to be honest I'm quite hazy about what the Fall sound like.

It isn't - see update :)

For an embarrassingly long time that was the only version I knew of The Kinks' song. venta, imagine it sung by drunk office workers, at the top of their voices, at the top of a bus. Illustrative actions optional.

Longer! :-}
