Quite possibly – or maybe they’re both sharing them with The Beatles for ‘She Said She Said’ as well? I only just found out that Richard Hawley of Pulp (and current successful solo career) fame was in Longpigs…I had no idea!
Look out for a Longpigs haiku next week – their song She Said starts off a bit like ‘Walk On The Wild Side’, doesn’t it??
Picked up on the Richard Hawley connection too- his solo career is news to me, although I always did appreciate his consistently well crafted riffing with Longpigs, like at 1.10 of Far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZW04NmOf7g&feature=related
I remember giving it some at the front of their gigs at Bedford Esquires and Tower Records London. Look forward to your Longpigs haiku.

She said? Surely the royalties for that song must go to Longpigs, a gem of a band from the britpop years:
