Nice groove, I like the production too...

Throughout the song, all I wanted to hear was Rod Stewart breaking into the chorus of "In a Broken Dream". This crossed the line from integrated sample to aural pricktease.

WTF is that at the start? Sounds like someone doing the washing up. And the male 'singer' should quit trying to do a Tom Waits - you can't imitate the inimitable. Sleazy enough for a late-night basement after-hours bar with sticky carpets, watered-down beer, and sad lonely men, but a fish out of water in other contexts. Such as real life. 3 from the Nottingham jury with sad memories of such dives.
 
LOL...but the song picked up in the middle. {#Yes} At least that's when it caught my attention. 5

Saw lovage in detroit in 2001. Ranks in the top 5 shows I've ever seen. Jennifer charles had the crowd by the balls. Mike patton, automator, kid koala all had velvet robes on and were drinkin alize...classic.

This album is a gem if you can find it. If you love Elysian Fields, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Handsome Boy Modeling Club, this is a record for you. This song, "Strangers On A Train," "To Catch A Thief," "Stroker Ace," and "Book of The Month" are all genius.

Jennifer Charles has the sexiest voice ever and this is the sexiest album of hers. 
 
Huh, so the avec Michael Patton is indeed the man of the Bungle.  Sounds nothing like him, but given the cover art, I'd believe it.

The cover is a direct reference to a Serge Gainsbourg album:

 
Serge managed to find himself a much nicer table than Lovage did.  The veneer work on it looks fabulous.

I give it an eight for the title and the album cover.
The song is pretty good too.
I'll have to get my old lady to confirm that though.

That is a very good song. Pity that it was rejected.

It was used in one of my favourite movies, "Breaking the Waves."

A likable 7 for the song, a 10 for the CD cover. Hope this is only available on vinyl and went directly to the bottom shelf of thrift stores where other jewels of graphic design like this live out their days. (click here)
