Having watched the excellent BBC4 Depeche Mode night last Friday, I awoke this morning...
...with Personal Jesus in my head, though I found myself trying to crowbar a Nodge chant into it.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Bearing in mind my head isn't quite with it today and that I've had to use artistic licence to rearrange some of the key elements of the track into a workable terrace number, this is what I've cobbled together (some lines I'm still not happy with/can't quite make work/have to ignore original's rhyming pattern and just fit the scan):
Sing up, the Barclay! ["Reach out and touch faith" line]
Jerome scores goals for City ["Your own personal Jesus"]
Someone to make all the runs
Someone who cares [meant to rhyme with previous line]
...
[I want to fit in the percussive backing vocals bit:]
Ho-ho-ha-ha-ho-ho-hah
Ho-ho-ha-ha-ho-ho-hah
Ho-ho-ha-ha-ho-ho-hah
Ho-ho-ha-ha-ho-ho-hah
...
???
...
...Eurgh, this is what happens when a moment of inspiration eleven hours ago isn't acted upon in its immediacy. There's the bare bones or at least the concept but my creative juices have all dried up, sadly.
I'm sure someone more switched on (both brain-wise & musically-speaking) could probably quite easily make it work across the whole song...
