Dance music!Giles’ Lyrics:I was at Wollaton ParkOn a SaturdayI was surrounded by meatheads of all kinds.Very few peopleWere dancing to the90s house music at 4.30.The sort of people that I toleratedBut didn’t get on withWere abound.I still felt the same wayAbout them at five decades as at two.So I had to do something to relaxI went to the toiletAnd as I circulated backVia a small marqueeFull of despicable people.I was ambushed byTwo short middle-aged womenWho I vaguely recognisedBut could not place.So I had to do something to relaxThey recognised meAnd were pleased to see meAfter a finitude of secondsI recognised them as neighbours.We talked of childrenAnd life on our streetAnd they guessed my jobAfter one or two guesses.It was a friendly exchangeWith a tinge of sexual tensionI bid them goodbyeAnd danced away.But then I met them laterAnd it went less well.Related audiovisual material is available on the This Are Johnny Domino blog

We discuss the track listing, hear some alternate takes and digress in the usual fashion. As is customary, it's pointless and impossibly niche.This episode includes, amongst other things: Cannibals Improvisation Bongos SweatRelated audiovisual material is available on the This Are Johnny Domino blogListen to The Best of This Are Johnny Domino, Vol. 1 on SpotifyVisit the Johnny Domino websiteConnect with Johnny Domino on Facebook and InstagramPodcast artwork by Giles WoodwardEdited by Steve Woodward at PodcastingEditor.com
