I think I even went for all of those that the performer was the writer as well so actually picked up the award. I started by looking at the Grammy for record of the year, where two of yours fitted the bill. I didn't realise that there is also a category for song of the year. Coldplay, Bruce and Willie Nelson got song of the year; the others got both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who this "Manitou" chappy is, though and I certainly don't know anything about an iron grip on my foreskin. Oo-er, missus. Have a singalong to any three of the songs confirmed thus far and you should get it. For once, JWL wasn't completely off the reservation saying that it is "dead easy", although I was helped significantly by Felix getting Cadillac Ranch - probably just because I know that song inside out.

Then joined up with the Scorcher (which had previously been joined by the Score) to become the world's most awkwardly named young lads' comic-story magazine The Tiger and Jag and Scorcher and Score. Heeeeeeerrre's Johnny... "By Manitou" was his cry for summoning strength from the spirits of his forebears. I learned a lot of Native American (or Red Indian as it was called thenadays) history from such august publications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Nothing to add here apart from offering you the chance to here something that can’t be unheard. I’d heard You’re So Vain god knows how many times and then read that Mick Jagger does backing vocals on the chorus, odd, I’ve never noticed that, then I listened to it again. Loud and clear Mick in full Mick mode. It really starts to become more obvious at the chorus around 1’45” then by the end of the song he’s unavoidable. Then nearly every person I mentioned this too hadn’t noticed it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
