about

From the album "Smash the Sun Alight" (2012)

Sterbus: guitar, bass, vocals and backing vocals on coda, organ, drums programming;
Dominique D'Avanzo: backing vocals on choruses;
Frances "Co" Pernico delle Famose Teorie: backing vocals on out-choruses.

An acoustic remix renamed "Bathrules RMX" - cause yes, the acoustic guitars have been recorded in the bathroom because of the natural reverb - is going to be released soon sometimes in the near future ;)

lyrics

Everybody knows that "Dirty boy" is the greatest song ever written, no doubt about it. I always loved this song since I first discovered Cardiacs in late 2006, some of you may also know the acoustic cover I did in 2010... (you can find it in the "loyal companion" of the wonderful Tim Smith tribute album "leader of the starry skies") But then my ego grew bigger and bigger, so I said to myself: "why not trying to write some kind of a musical sequel to it?" So, yes, I'm probably crazy, but this song it's me messing around with tons and tons of chords and chord changes - close to the original 237 - trying to replicate all the things I adored in that song, from the big choruses scaling up a semitone to all kind of assorted madness you could imagine... thanks Tim, you're a genius, and a great inspiration... this is for you!
