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, [livejournal.com profile] mr_tom, you're one of the worst culprits. Tell!

Vicoria, Victoria? It occurred a lot in an Italian song sung by a very light tenor at Georgian evenings at Aske Hall.

C'est tout? Pretentious? Moi?

And, since you've asked for ID, Spelunca.

Aha! So that explains why the phone line's busy :) Give me a quick call if you see this (not urgent)?
