154. Dominos by Big pink

The Big Pink - Dominos (Official Video)

A briliant single. Slightly off centre and a favourite of my kids when driving the car. Of course remi my youngest as trouble with the word Dominos so it comes out like Domi-nomi-nos to break it up phonteically. Here's a family that drives along singing along to sounds of Big Pink. Fantastic.  And it means we don't have to listen to some of the awful stuff polluting the charts. Remi even recognises the Beatles when they come on the home stereo so I'm making headway in their musical grounding. I hope. Ruby is starting to show some interest in guitar.
Saw the Big Pink perform this on Jool Holland's Later. Whereas I thought they were a psychadelic band it turns out they are a kind of bedroom two peice recording outfit. The things you can do at home nowadays!
I've always liked references to domininos too. Back in the early days of Au Go Go Bruce M would always bang on about working on the domino theory.

These girls fall like dominos, dominos

These girls fall like dominos, dominos

These girls fall like dominos, dominos

As soon as I love her it's been too long

Talks of future with you caves me in

Swallow my sugar kiss and eat it alone

Hearts collide and smash any dreams of love
