48. ‘Turn It Up’
On 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'. Produced by Stephen
Street.Seen as catchy, 'up' track
when sessions began, "Turn It Up" has since been disowned by Damon.
Graham says, "When we wrote it, it seemed like a good jangly pop song.
But it turned out to be an MOR rock song. It didn't have peculiarities.
So we were turned off by it."
"It's crap," says Damon flatly. "I
wouldn't have had it on the album. Balfe thought it was the only song
that had a vague chance of doing well in America, so he insisted on it
being there." A harsh reaction, you may feel, to a perfectly good guitar
song with a boisterous Cockney chorus. Leave it out, John, and so forth.
