My Lovely Horse

I think this is more at home in Randomness than Music, so tough

Was the Divine Comedy song from Father Ted ever officially released as a single? It occurred to me a few days ago how good it would be. The Divine Comedy full song as the A side, the acoustic version from Father Ted as the B side, and a PC/DVD video of the music video from Father Ted as a bonus.

Something that Erykah and I realised when I mentioned it to her was how unmissable the Top Of The Pops showing would be. Ted and Dougal miming the song onstage, and around the end of the song.

"Hey Ted! We're on Top Of The Pops!"
"Not now, Dougal!"

 

Are we talkimg about My Lovely Horse or the Father Ted Theme?

 

My Lovely Horse

 

I LOVE THIS!!! MY LOVELY HORSE IS ACE!!! It was like a soundtrack of our summer cos my friend who plays the guitar extremely bloody grandly used to play it and we sang!!! ACE!!! LOVE IT!!!

 

lol i watch the one where they did that the other day - ohh its sooooo funny

 

P.S Nope I don't think it was released as a single at all! Which does suck!

 

There'd be no point though as it is a complete non-entity of a song outside the context of the episode.

Actually, considering what gets released these days I probably don't really have a point.

 

Be hard for them to go on TOTP since Dermot Morgan who played Ted died in 1998.

 

I tried to keep my post in past tense, but "how good it would be" slipped through.

(Edit) Damn, now I look at it, nothing was in past tense.

 

Haha, you fool.

Awesome song, both versions. :'D

 

I'd definitely buy it!

 

they could hav a cardboard cut out of dermot morgan... ( is that his name?)
