Bacharch & David

[Tingle3]

Your starter for ten: After singing which song did Morrissey once say "Bacharach & David would have sh*t themselves to have written that"

I have a feeling it was at Meltdown in 2004 but I can't recall.
The reason I ask is that I've bought a couple of Dionne Warwick compilations and the songs are fabulous - not as interesting perhaps as Morrissey's but they're hugely catchy (der - obviously) and Dionne delivers them brilliantly. Current faves are "Trains and Boats and planes" and "Anyone who had a heart".

I love Bacharach & David. As for the Moz reference, I don't have a clue, but in the absence of other references, I might guess I Know It's Over. My favourite Bacharach & David songs include I'll Never Fall In Love Again, Alfie, I Say A Little Prayer, Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, The Look Of Love. Very nice, very nice, very nice.

Thats Irish Blood from the night in question Meat Is Murder was played before it but on my boot the aforementioned comment appears with Irish..

"this guy's in love with you" is one of the best pop songs ever written. bacharach and david were quite possibly the best pairing in history, right after peanut butter and jelly.
