copycat Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 on the back page of the Independent Newspaper today a feature on Englebert Humperdink - and he says his first holiday was on the Isle of Man where he won a talent show for a return holiday - so he brought his girlfriend back. Where did he stay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboarder Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Wow, how interesting. I wonder if the island had any influence on his highly original use of Sprechgesang, which was to be of great interest to Arnold Schoenberg, arguably the most exciting composer of the 20th century.

Tempus Fugit Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 wasn't he Gerry (or Jerry ?) Dorsey, the singing waiter at the Magestic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this is Englebert Humperdink, the singing waiter. Not Englebert Humperdink, the dead composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossils Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 wasn't he Gerry (or Jerry ?) Dorsey, the singing waiter at the Magestic ? Didn't he write "Lesbian Seagull" while he was working here? I think it may have been the result of pier pressure. Much later, in 1997, he scaled the charts with it, a double-header single with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, from the Beavis and Butthead film soundtrack. - Honest!
