Quite by coincidence I was listening to an old Dean Friedman song on YouTube last night and looked what appears on the video at 2:16 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSsp2xkEKVU
Lemon Puffs and Garibaldi Also can you get biscuit barrels with the thing at in the lid that stops the biscuits from going dry anymore? It was like a round tin that sounded like it had got sand or summat in it.
Brilliant. From Dean Friedman's Wiki page: The British band Half Man Half Biscuit recorded, in 1986, a song entitled "The ******* Son of Dean Friedman", a claim Friedman considered improbable, as he was only seven years old when lyricist Nigel Blackwell was conceived.[12] At the Edinburgh Festival in 2003, The Scotsman newspaper arranged a get together between Friedman and the band, in which he acknowledged that Blackwell had at least surmised right the underlying story in the song "Lucky Stars": "That guy Nigel was hip to the fact Lisa and I didn't just do lunch. You can't interpret a song that way unless you understand what it's about." It also transpired that Blackwell had a copy of a rare vinyl version of Well Well Said the Rocking Chair.[13] In 2009, Friedman wrote a 'reply' called "Tale of a Baker's Son", in which he firmly placed Blackwell's parentage as being that of the local baker, posting it on Half Man Half Biscuit's MySpace site. The band mentioned it on their own website[14] as "Dean Friedman's Revenge/Dean Friedman strikes back". On September 15, 2010, Dean Friedman appeared at a Half Man Half Biscuit gig at the Robin 2 venue in Bilston, West Midlands (UK) and performed "Tale of a Baker's Son" to rapturous applause from the partisan crowd. Half Man Half Biscuit's riposte was, naturally, The ******* Son of Dean Friedman.[15]
