Show Notes
Once upon a time, there was a small wooden puppet who dreamed of being a dancer. All his puppet friends told him "You'll never be a dancer! You lack the requisite dexterity because of your inarticulate limbs!" The little wooden puppet wouldn't listen and set out to the big city to find a dance master to help him accomplish his dreams. For 12 days and 12 nights he journeyed, by hill and by stream, by wood and by plain. Eventually, weary and slightly worm-chewed, he came upon a roadside inn from whence came the sounds of music which made the puppet's feet start to jig and his body to convulse into electric rhythms. He walked toward the door and as it opened and the warm yellow light of lanterns bathed his upturned, hopeful face, some great lumbering drunken twat staggered out and stepped on him, crushing him into fifteen splintered, lifeless pieces. The moral of the story is, if you're a small wooden puppet, don't wander around outside nightclubs in Clacton because, chances are, you're gonna git squished by a bell end!
Oh, this week's episode covers "Dancer", the second track from 1982's "Hot Space"!
If Randy were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it "Rock out with your cock out" or possibly, "Jam out with your clam out, however it worst best for you!"
NOTE: Skip forward to 25:10 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The music at the end of the episode is the deeply philosophical and profound "Lunch", a treatise on the intellectual colonisation of the service industry by corporate bad actors and the unwillingness of an apathetic public to discern between quality and mass consumption.

More from Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)
There was young fella named Freddie Who died long before we were ready He gaves us some tunes and we podcast buffoons Have talked for four years now already!
B B B B B B Side! Today we cover an actual bona fide B Side. Not a track that was unearthed twenty years later and slapped onto a deluxe edition. Not a song with another singer from a super famous couple of rock bands and not the seaside we like to be beside. It's another track from the The Miracle sessions and it was almost twelve minutes long in its original form! It's a light-hearted little Freddie jam that was cut up and put on the flip side of the Breakthru single. You might like it. You might not.
Seaside Pod Review does not condone booking a bus trip down to Brighton to meet your secretary in some seedy little bed and breakfast two streets back from the front behind your wife, and her husband's back and having it off like a couple of hippies in the 60s! No. We recommend you stick with your partner and only do it to them. Preferably with the lights off and your socks on. Remember, Jesus is watching your spotty white arse as it goes up and down arhythmically for 4 to 6 minutes and he's not gonna be impressed if you're pumping anyone other than the person you promised to pump exclusively in one of his ornate dwellings. Don't make Jesus cry. What's wrong with you?!
The last two non-Queen songs we've covered were Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton. This week's song is not like either. If you're easily offended by dark lyrics in a comedic/novelty punk-techno song that borders on poor taste, then this one likely isn't for you. We knew nothing about the band TISM and we're not sure we know a whole lot more now we've listened to then, but any way you wanna cut it, these guys are different! Very different.
Another album bites the dust as we finish up Jazz and leave ourselves with only three songs on the wheel! There are more dismissals from the minifestations gauntlet of death and Randy inquires as to how Kev fared when he recently ventured out of his basement and into the wider world. There's also some chat about Iron Maiden and why we tend to go back to listen to things we've heard a million times before.
