Munurmunuh Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 When I got to know this song (a B-side collected on the cassette version the Standing On A Beach singles compilation iirc) I didn't have a clue what it was about. Most of a lifetime later, a YouTube comment explained it to me. To be fair, dentistry isn't typical rock music subject matter..... ....or is it? Perhaps there plenty of other songs on this theme which have similarly escaped my notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Hands Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I remember having a Barron Knights skit of Boney M's "Rivers of Babylon" on 7" single when I was a kid. I seem to remember the lyrics started off: There's a dentist in Birmingham He fixed my crown And as I slept He filled my mouth with iron...... 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
