Title: You Cant Put Your Arms Around A Memory - Trivia
Post by: nyd on October 24, 2005, 10:19:12 PM
Some people probably already know this but the 'You Cant Put Your Arms Around A Memory' song on The Spaghetti Incident has a few extra references to Johnny Thunders that I only just noticed.

Apart from the start where he says "This ones for you, Johnny", he also says 'Like A Motherfucker' half way through the song which is a title of a Johny Thunders album.

He also says "What colour were her eyes? Oh, she was wearing shades? Fuck it." That is an edited line from a song called "Great Big Kiss" that Johnny Thunders covered with both the New York Dolls and The Heartbreakers. The original line is "What colour are her eyes? I dunno, she's always wearing shades"

he also says 'Like A Motherfucker'

Thats why Duff had L.A.M.F. spraypainted on his amps during the Illusion World Tour.
