Actually, it's from a painting by Wayne Thiebaud called 'Cherry Cakes'. I, unfortunately, do not have it hanging in my living room. But they do look like porkpies, or a Target ad, for those here in the States.

I like them all EXCEPT Crimes of Paris. I definately do not dig that song.
AAAHHHH, I can't stand "the sizzle hot pants"!!! I did give it a chance to grow on me but...it hasn't.

Love all the other songs but if I had to pick a fav, I guess Tears Before Bedtime has the edge.

I thought they looked like batteries.

Hmmm, wonder what my shrink would say about that?

Don't go dissing sizzle hot pants. Nothing wrong with those.

got to be Sunday's Best. For years I thought the line was 'boots and car keys' and now I get the reissue and find out it's 'boots and khakis'--do car keys and khakis rhyme somewhere in the UK? Or is this just one of those little flurps like Steve Miller's 'pompatus of love'?

sounds like a bostonian talking.

khakis and car keys sound completely the same to a bostonian. very odd, i agree. throw the r away! :)

the proclaimers have a song about it. now, where in the UK are they from?

You don't pronounce "car keys" and "khakis" the same, moody? Strange.

Okay, here's how we "Yanks" in the Great Pacific Northwest handle the pronunciations:

khakis -- KAH keez
car keys -- KAHR KEEZ

Hard "r" in "car keys". I know that quite a few of you "across the pond" either omit the "r" sound altogether, or pronounce it so softly (and kind of "rounded off) that it barely even regiseters...
