Talk:Bram Tchaikovsky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Any thought about discussing the lyrics to "Girl Of My Dreams" in the entry? There was some "Louie, Louie"-like controversy at the time because the album included no printed lyrics, and a later release of the 'official' lyrics (from the record company, perhaps, in response to the controversy? - my memory is failing me) were patently incorrect. The 'official' lyrics for example stated that the second line was "She gave him a poem with the U.S. Mail," but most everyone agreed the band actually sang, quite clearly, "She came in the morning with the U.S. Mail."

Most agreed the song's "Judy" was not fully real, but it is not clear what she actually was. Interpretations at the time ranged from a pen pal's photograph, to a fully imaginary friend, to an allusion to masturbation, to an inflatable sex doll. (The latter, oddly enough, seems the most sensible when listening to the album version, though such a subject matter is totally at odds with the ringing guitars, plaintive vocals, and beautifully crafted pop hooks.) Rather than put guesswork and speculation into an official Wikipedia entry, would there be any way to track down Bram or one of his mates to provide a once-and-for-all explanation?
