Kembali ke papan gambar, dan saya pikir itu karena frustrasi
we wanted to sound as distorted as Chuck Berry’s guitar on Memphis
kami ingin terdengar menyimpang seperti gitar Chuck Berry di Memphis
Tennessee. We played the record so many times on that old radiogram

So, in fact, you know, God save the Queen sounded like Chuck Berry.
Jadi, sebenarnya, Anda tahu, Tuhan menyelamatkan sang Ratu yang terdengar seperti Chuck Berry.
Everything sounded really distorted. And Dave and I thought
Semuanya terdengar sangat menyimpang. Dan Dave dan aku berpikir

“Bagaimana kita bisa membuat suara amp hijau yang terdistorsi?”.
So Dave took one of mums knitting-needles and he stuck it into the
Jadi Dave mengambil salah satu jarum rajut ibu dan dia memasukkannya ke dalam
speakers of the little green amp. The Dave played a chord. Pfft.
speaker amp hijau kecil. Dave memainkan akord. Pfft.
It sounded great, yes! Brilliant. That’s the sound.

Tapi Dave dan saya terkejut bahwa orang dewasa ini, masih minum dan bernyanyi

bahwa itu adalah saat yang menyedihkan.
It’s hard to describe the front room. It had a really magical quality to it,
Sulit untuk menggambarkan ruang depan. Ini memiliki kualitas yang sangat ajaib untuk itu,
really spiritual in a way. I went to a church school, but the closest I felt to
benar-benar spiritual. Saya pergi ke sekolah gereja, tapi yang paling dekat yang saya rasakan
religion was not when I was singing in the school choir or when I was at
Agama bukan saat saya bernyanyi di paduan suara sekolah atau saat saya berada
