Subject: RE: lyr/Origins: Pretty polly (Knife in the Window)
I see that somebody above mentioned the Dan Tate version. Dan called it "Lightning & Thunder" when he first sang it to me. A littler later I asked if we could record it, calling it "Thunder & Lightning". The look on Dan's face was just wonderful - a sort of "how can anybody be so stupid?" look - before saying, "Mike, its 'Lightning & Thunder', don't you English know that lightning always comes before thunder?"
