Songs for Michael Caine
Posted by: woodface on 13 March 2003
Having caught a few minutes of Jonathan Ross's interview with Mr Caine I was reminded of a couple of great songs inspired by his screen persona. The first is the rather obvious song of the same name by Madness but my personal favourite is 'Becoming more like alfie' by divine comedy. I think this song contains some really clever lyrics, especially the following:
Everybody knows that no means yes/just like glasses come free on the NHS/but the more I look through them/the more I see/I am becoming more like Alfie. Is this the best lyric ever?
