This has truly disturbed me and thrown me off kilter for the day

This has truly disturbed me and thrown me off kilter for the day

I remember being round a mate's house when that came on. We sat, stunned, then turned to each other with a particular look - expressible only using the (then unknown) acronym 'WTF'. We both thought it was great though.

I seem to remember being similarly astounded when I saw it on TOTP. I recall my mum (RIP) being there, who gave her usual comment on anything strange/that she didn't understand: "He must be on f'kin drugs"

Oh-woah
