Don't worry, I haven't mislaid a jumper. This post is jumper-related so I needed a jumper song - and I've used two different versions of Jumper Clown already.
I did think about Undone - The Sweater Song by Weezer but this post is about a Christmas jumper. They don't get called Christmas sweaters (round here anyway.) I'll get on with it.
I was in a large supermarket doing the fortnightly big provisions shop when a man approached and said: "I like your jumper. Classic album that." He had seen my Christmas jumper which uses the album cover from the Wedding Present's Seamonsters as its design.
I thanked him and said it was one of my very favourite albums and they were still available to buy if he wanted one himself. And that there is now also a design based on the band's previous album Bizarro, giving him a year to get himself one in time for next Christmas.
He thanked me and said he would consider it. We went our separate ways.
Where's me Jumper by Irish punks The Sultans of Ping was a 1992 single that made number 67 in the UK charts and features on debut album Casual Sex in the Cineplex released the following year.
It's tremendous fun. I particularly enjoy the start of the song and its 'manifesto poem' for want of a better description.
