"Memories...
You know I don't even remember when it came out, but "Cruise Control" basically described, word for word, my life and various times. And from then I was hooked. I was suffering some seriously crap teenage years at the time, sadly awesome that someone else knew exactly how I felt, and put it to music in the way only the Chickens could. I still wish I had a cruise control function.
Fiona oh that amazing voice - I would try very unsuccessfully to sing along to that Primo ad. Very unsuccessfully. I tried to keep it to the car when I was driving alone, to avoid damaging my friends' ears. And then I heard she doesn't drink flavoured milk! hehe. (or was that just a vicious rumour?)
Even when Fiona wasn't singing, I loved the chickens. "Expecting to Fly" is my favourite song to listen to on my birthday. I try and break it out at parties, especially as my birthday is shared with another Chickens fan.
I miss the Chickens... Love Strawpeople but still not the same. Body Blow is a must have."
