The Arrows featuring Davie Allan - Granny Goose c/w Space Hopdotdotdotdot
artworkThis is a grand single from King Fuzz. The A-side is very cool, especially if you've seen the sixties Granny Goose® commercials where an ultra handsome cowboy rides up, says dramatically with a slight grin "My name is Granny, Granny Goose," then tears open the bag of chips with his teeth. The B-sides is a mighty rare instro based on surf but plated without reverb and super damped.
Picks: Granny Goose, Space Hop

Granny Goose dotdotdotdot
(Vocal)

I am so glad this appears on this compilation. Its a single that got no exposure at all, but it is priceless. There was a series of Granny Goose commercials with a Marlboro Man look alike who tore open his bag of chips with his teeth after stating from horseback "My name is Granny - Granny Goose!". It was too funny. Davie recorded this hilarious honorarium to Mr. Goose, with all the macho references, and declaring that "It may sound funny, but all the girls, they call me honey..." So cool!

Plucky Space (Instrumental)

Screaming guitar assault, drums rampaging, bass thundering, dirty guitar tones, and big chords. A fine ugly Hogg rider's anthem. Very powerful.
