Can't get you out of my head

ventaOK, 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,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_tom, you're one of the worst culprits. Tell!

Date: 2004-01-15 09:04 am (UTC)"That is all" instinctively made me think of "Your Christian names are still an insuperable barrier, that is all!" (ie, Gwendolyn and Cecily, "Importance of Being Earnest"). When I use it that's where it comes from, but I'm not one of the people you're referring to so I really have no idea about that either!
