Improviseret frygt for hunde og hvepse (gaven Jarvis)

En af de bedste julegaver var Jarvis Cockers Mother, Brother, Lover. Selected Lyrics med ikke bare (så godt som) alle de bidende følsomme tekster, men også hyper-informative NOTER til (så godt som) alle de bidende følsomme tekster, bl.a. transskriberede impro-sekvenser fra live-optræden med "His'n Hers", hvor Jarvis efter oplistningen af ting, han frygter, "I'm frightened of Belgian chocolates/ I'm frightened of potpourri/ I'm frightened of James Dean posters" spørger publikum, hvad de er bange for:

Keele University in October 1994:
JARVIS: Maybe you can tell me ... can you tell me what people in Keele are frightened of? Apart from getting crushed against that wall there. What are you frightened of?
GIRL IN AUDIENCE: Pardon?
JARVIS: I want to know what you are frightened of?
GIRL: Dogs.
JARVIS: What? Sorry?
GIRLS: Dogs!
JARVIS: Dogs. It's not a very well-known fact ... you've probably seen a lot of nature programmes, yeah? And in these nature programmes they make out that man was descended from the apes. And at at one time we were all walking around like this, yeah? We evolved to stand upright and drive cars. And er ... support football teams. But recent research ... recent research has proved that man is not descended from the apes as had previously been believed, but man is actually descended from dogs (...) this will explain lot of behaviour you get to see at night clubs and discos. Yeah like a dog sniffs a lamp post ...

Eller endnu skarpere improviseret på STIKordet "hvepse" i tv-programmet Butt Naked, også 1994 (og åh, Jarvis er også mit danse- eller bare bevægelses-idol):

  1. men det er i sandhed følsomme tekster - der giver stof til eftertanke
