Pale Movie (original) (raw)

"Pale Movie" is a 1994 song by British pop group Saint Etienne, released as the first single from their third album, Tiger Bay. It reached number 28 on the UK Singles Charts and also became a hit in Iceland, peaking at number 24. In an interview with Melody Maker magazine, keyboard player Pete Wiggs said that he considers the song "potentially brilliant" but "a bit of a failure"; he feels that the band "stuck too rigidly to our folk idea". He also adds that they only chose Spanish guitar so that they could go to Spain for the video [1]
