Another banger mashup in the “plagiarism series” by Triple Q, featuring my idol Avril Lavigne

My favourite version of Forty-Five Hundred Times. 3 minutes longer than the original, with an added verse. Yeah, it probably does go on a bit too long, and even Francis Rossi later seemed to not like it. But it has such a great vibe I don’t think the original ‘70s track has, and I love to put it on the background while I work on something.

“We were trying to make the song current for that incarnation of the band,” said Rossi. “Whether or not we were successful in that… well, probably not. Musically speaking, it will have been tidier than the original – the playing would have improved. But, as we discovered on the Frantic Four’s 2013 reunion tour, that’s not really what it’s all about. After doing it live again three years later, we went ‘What the fuck’s this extra verse all about?’ – and we got rid of it.”

Now that the holiday season is truly over, it’s time for some non-Christmas songs.

Despite my love of Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson, I never got into Van Der Graaf Generator… hoping to change that.
