Talk:Dagenham Dave

The Strangers

Is there any relationship between Morrissey calling a song "Dagenham Dave" and The Stranglers earlier song by the same name? --82.133.79.7 22:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NO. The song has the same name, it was on The Stranglers 1977 album No More Heroes. It's about a hardcore fan who used to attend all their early gigs, he committed suicide in the Thames, hence the Stranglers' lyrics "| I'm not going to cry| I bet he hit the water high".

NME Review

The response to the NME was not what one expects from a wiki entry - 'NME gave their usual poor review' (sic) 'but reviews that count' (sic). Replaced it with a less biased account of reviews. The text from the NME review will speak for itself without anybody having to tell us that it is their 'usual poor review' (sic). This is still unreferenced however - would anybody care to contribute Darigan (talk) 13:57, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
