The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy : Mailing List : 1995
[By Subject] [By Date] [By Sender] [Prev] [Next]

From: Chris Camfield <ccamfiel[at]-remove-undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca>
Subject: Human Jungle

What is it about you skeptical Scotsmen? First Ed comments on HJ, and
then Cliff.

This is from the Unconditional liner notes. Also, Pat identifies the
song as being about a TV show in the Chicago 1986 concert (I presume
there was only one that year!). There may be a film for all I know, as
well, but that doesn't seem to be about the show:

* The Human Jungle The title comes from a rather noir little TV series
* from the early Sixties wherein the great Herbert Lom played the
* extremely sexy and not entirely unbrilliant Dr. Alexander Kordu, a
* psychiatrist with the handy ability to sort out even the most
* appalling cases within sixty minutes. I love that show, but I love
* touring better. By the way, anyone who makes suggestions about sex
* and travel is being extremely rude.

There's also a reference in the song to the time at which the show plays
("Every Tuesday half-past two...") and "Watch the telly, do the ironing..."
