Ray Davies, The Kinks, Alcohol, and Me
Here’s something to keep in mind in the event Deron wins the lottery and hosts a big cluster-fest. Given the proper stimulus, I’ve been known to perform the song captured in this bit of video (via paris1919) . . . especially if there’s a piano in the house and a pianist who can fake it.
“Are there any sinners in the audience tonight?”

“Are there any sinners in the audience tonight?”
Sheila, reminds me of “Walkin’ in Memphis,” by what’s his name, where’s there’s the line, “Son, are you a Christian, child? And I said ‘Ma’am I am, tonight!”
Don’t know if Danny could fake the piano well enough for you, but I’d be willin’ to have him give it a try.
Well, hell, seein’ as how I’d be fakin’ the singin’ . . .
Amen, sister!
An aside: note the funny Pope hat worn by keyboardist John Gosling.
I suppose this makes this former seminarian one of demon’s minions, doesn’t it?
Indeed it does, Andrew. It’s an old old story.
May I perform “Apeman”?
“In man’s evolution he created the cities and the motor traffic rumble/But give me half a chance and I’d be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle.”
Yes, indeed.
