Anyone know anything about this song that was cut from Emotional Rescue for legal reasons? Is it the song that goes 'Claudine's back in jail again' or is that too old for Emotional Rescue? Can the E R version be heard anywhere? |

yeah if they put it on the record there was a chance they could be sued for that! |

I believe it was cut from Some Girls and not Emotional Rescue...there are two versions of it that I know of...the great rockabilly version that was going to be on SG and a longer, slower rehearsal version that is on some other bootlegs... |

yeah, i got both versions. claudine parts 1and 2, part 2 is basically a refrain of part 1. The claudine in question was married to Andy Williams at the time. She shot, or was involved, in a shooting. The Stones were warned big time not to release the song or they would be sued to high heaven. I remember that it was rumuored the songs would be on sucking in the 70's, but we were ripped off again. I cant recall her surname, but Claudine is French and can be seen in the brilliant 60's movie THE PARTY, starring Peter Sellars. |

Her name was Claudine Longet, and she was an ex-wife of Andy Williams. The song was cut during the "Some girls" sessions and despite what I've read about it being left off that album I distinctly remember reading about this song in the NME or Melody Maker around May 1980 as being a potential legal problem for the band as it was scheduled to appear on their upcoming album, which would have been "Emotional rescue". When that album came out at the end of June that year I remember being a bit disappointed it wasnt on it as I wanted to hear what the fuss was about! |

you learn something new everyday...
I like that track - "Claudine's in jail again..." Heh - I didn't know it was true. Is Andy Williams the short blond guy that wrote "Somewhere Over the Rainbow?" If he is, I think he was one of the dudes that bought the beer (ie sponsored the challenge) in Smokey and the Bandit.
Funny shit. |

did ally or steve ever threaten to sue the band? |

The guy in Smokey and the Bandit was Paul Williams
Somewhere over the rainbow was written for the Wizard of Oz - music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by E.Y. Harburg |

| mac_daddy |
you are correct, sir - I was thinking the Rainbow Connection fromthe Muppet Movie.
OK - but isnt that short guy Andy's brother? |

They got permission from Steve. Allie I don't know about. On the original version of Goat's Head Soup they fuzzed out John Wayne's name, but everyone still knew who it was.

From Martin Elliott's book
(Claudine) relates the tale of actress and singer Claudine Longet, former wife of celebrity Andy Williams, who had covered Lets Spend the Night Together in 1972 with her trademark soft erotic tones. She was convicted of manslaughter for the accidental death in March 1976 of her lover, the professional skier Vladimir 'Spider' Sabich. He had been showing her how to use a gun when the safety catch failed and she shot him in the stomach. Rumours that both were using alcohol and cocaine were not brought out during the trial. |

I thought I knew the words to Starfucker, but I guess I was wrong - where does John Wayne appear? |

Corgi:
the other version of Claudine is not just a refrain. There's about a 6-7 minute version, that is the full song, but done in a slow, bluesy mode unlike the rockabilly style of the other version.... |

>I thought I knew the words to Starfucker, but I guess I was wrong - where does John Wayne appear?
in the last couple of lines "I'll make a bet/that youre gonna get/John Wayne before he dies"

hmm - thanks Gazza, I did not know that...

Baby, baby, I've been so sad since you've been gone
Way back to New York City

Honey, I missed your two-tone kisses
Legs wrapped around me tight

Legs wrapped around me tight
If I ever get back to New York, girl
Gonna make you scream all night

A star fucker, star fucker, star fucker, star fucker star

For givin' head to Steve McQueen

Fallin' through the Silver Screen
Honey, I'm open to anything
I don't know where to draw the line
Yeah, I'll make bets that you're gonna get
John Wayne before he dies
