    "comment": "Simon Raymonde shares the tale where, while sound-checking this song on BBC's venerable Old Grey Whistle programme, he and Robin Guthrie swapped instruments on a lark while playing through this song. As soon as they finished, the producer announced that their take was perfect.\n\nUnbeknownst to the band, the BBC were recording the run-through, and refused to re-record the song. After an enormous row, the Cocteau Twins did not reappear on the BBC for at least another eight years.\n\nYou can catch that very impromptu, off-the-cuff performance here: https://tinyurl.com/hfpetxw7",
