Is There an Echo in Here? A Podcast About Echo & the Bunnymen

Episode 18 - Keymon


Listen Later

We return from the cosmic, archetypal realm of episode 17 and land squarely in the middle of Will Sergeant's 1979 abode to join the Bunnymen where a band practice is underway. We focus on a burgeoning song called "I Bagsy Yours" and begin by defining the meaning of "bagsy" and it's usages in the Liverpool vernacular. We practice using this term in various sentences and we search for correlations to American slang words. After exhausting our efforts to understand, we come across another word that appears to have no meaning at all. Nonetheless, we heroically forge ahead to provide an in-depth lyrical analysis, followed by a musical analysis that leads Shane to assert that it really is, indeed, the blues Ian McCulloch is singing. We close out the episode with a dramatic reenactment of a Bunnymen rehearsal that ends with a cliffhanger. Join us as we decipher the mysteries of "Monkeys". Keymon!
