OfflineI think it is Spies Like Us but its such a bad song im not going searching to see. The good thing to come from that release is we got My Carnival, a strong example of a b-side being far better than its a-side. The film was also dire, remember watching it one horrid afternoon on itv years ago.

OfflineGive My Regards To Broadstreet is when i've have thought about packing it in with Paul's career, bought simply off the back of the single Pipes of Peace. Tho We All Stand Together was just after so i would still have bought Press to Play; that sends shivers down my spine buying that brand new.

Like it or not, I believe it comes from the set of a short film Ringo made to promote 1981's Stop and Smell the Roses. A very strange little film, The Cooler, it was released in 1982. Made by MPL it features Ringo, Barbara, Paul and Linda. It is made up of connected videos for Property, Sure to Fall and Attention. Paul, in that get up, is seen during the Sure to Fall segment, as the double-bass player in the band.

^^What the heck is that second pic from? Cheesy mustache aside, Paul doesn't look too bad as a blond!
That's because Paul could never look bad. Paul as a blonde is pretty terrible, but since it's Paul, it's still fabulous.

OfflineThe Cooler is a weird film what with Ringo being shoved in a type of cell and Barbara as the tightly dressed official. Not liking Paul as a blonde with a moustache, looks far better as a cowboy. And Ringo was really good at covering c&w music and the oldies, i really need to get a copy of Beaucoups of Blues (and Sentimental Journey, Whispering Trees is a great song).

OfflineOn the subject of The Cooler, I have been thinking about it since I dug it out to post yesterday in response to the question about blond Paul. I have been thinking about it because it's such strange imagery to think of Ringo and Paul coming up with, much of which many fellow Biblers may find objectionable. This will probably mean more to those in the UK but I have a suggestion for the influence. The Two Ronnies (Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett) were one of the great comedy partnerings of the time. In their annual series of sketches, they would include a serial that ran across the series. In 1980's series was perhaps the most memorable, The Worm That Turned. Set in 2012 it showed a world where women were in control, and while the Ronnies went with the typical fascist colour of black, their are certain similarities between the uniforms of the (all female) State Police in The Worm That Turned and the Prison Guards in The Cooler. The Cooler coming just a few months after, I wonder whether it wasn't it a big influence.
