Apart from the hilarious lyrics and vocal impressions, I must admit the instrumentation is very accurate and well arranged as a Human League pastiche...it even sounds like whoever produced this had access to Linn LM-1 drum machine like the original!

I have fond memories of listening to this album on long car journeys at the age of about six. Some time later, my A-level physics teacher used this song to introduce the concept of thermodynamics to the class ,and was delighted to find out that I recognised it!

It's quite telling that "make a rude retort" gets a big laugh from the audience in 1964, whereas I've had a good education and have listened to the joke many times and I've only just realised that it's a pun about laboratory equipment. It might just be my ignorance, but it sort of demonstrates that the gulf between science and humanities learning is a lot worse now than when C. P. Snow was writing about it!
@treewrecker80502 жыл бұрын
At the risk of my seeming stupid, would you mind explaining the joke in that line?
@jg91252 жыл бұрын
@@treewrecker8050 I think it's just that 'retort' can mean either a reply or a piece of laboratory glassware used by chemists for distillation experiments. It's definitely not a very accessible joke, but I assume that's why the audience are laughing. I certainly don't think we were taught about retorts in science class at school, but perhaps for well-educated people who grew up in the early 20th century it would just have been general knowledge.
