I might try googling 'split of Tralala' in a few months or years and seeing what if anything comes up... ;)Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-52379580655269138282016-09-12T00:19:54.613+01:002016-09-12T00:19:54.613+01:00Hi Yuki,

With the perfume (and soon the brand that inspired it) gone, and "split" not being a commonly used word, I doubt they'll succeed - unless somebody finds this post in depths of Internet archives ;)Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-41780635378514984522016-09-08T07:39:28.180+01:002016-09-08T07:39:28.180+01:00That is a wonderful perfume story!

Nice for Tralala to make the lyrical cut for posterity, beyond the time it is discontinued, as I think I heard might be happening to it? <br /><br />And yes, the 'wedged up' comment does sound a bit louche now you mention it, though it was purely a monetary observation at the time!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-37990258378463276852016-09-05T14:21:11.313+01:002016-09-05T14:21:11.313+01:00Hi Carol,

It has a very distinctive opening and a less distinctive drydown, but I am very partial to it, I must say.

Just saying. ;)<br /><br />You have educated me about Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine there, and what an interesting link. I bet TMS would rank very high on any such word count chart, what with 'vestigial tail' and 'buttered fusilli' on this album, to name just Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-39894445333196569762016-09-05T10:05:43.019+01:002016-09-05T10:05:43.019+01:00The track sounds fab, V.

What a brilliant and unexpected outcome of the split.<br />It's too bad about the rhyming issues because "wedged up in Uttoxeter" would have fitted the louche theme perfectly :) Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825957684276136205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-17009949959845346992016-09-05T01:59:25.253+01:002016-09-05T01:59:25.253+01:00Oh how cool re: the song, Vanessa!

From the word go there is talk of something unspeakable involving an errant ginger hair.
