Description

It tells a young man who is employed as a groundsman and who says that he does not want to grow up and do great things, being perfectly happy where he is, pushing a lawn mower. Remix and inspired by GENESIS song I KNOW WHAT I LIKE (IN YOUR WARDROBE). As we know, "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" was the first charting single by the rock band Genesis. It was drawn from the album Selling England by the Pound. The single was first released in the UK in August 1973, and became a "minor hit" in April 1974, when it reached number 21 in the UK Singles Chart. Betty Swanwick's painting The Dream, which was used for the Selling England album cover, provided inspiration for the lyrics. The song, inspired by The Beatles, has a psychedelic rock sound, using hand percussion rhythms and an electric sitar riff from Mike Rutherford (played in concert by Steve Hackett until his departure from the band). Keyboardist Tony Banks used a note played on the low end of the Mellotron during the intro and ending to imitate the sound of a lawn mower. This effect was discovered during a recording session by Peter Gabriel while Banks was taking a bathroom break. Later live versions of this song (such as the one on Seconds Out) feature an extended instrumental section which includes snippets of various other Genesis songs -- such as "Visions of Angels," "Blood on the Rooftops," "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" and "Stagnation" -- and songs by other artists, such as "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Phil Collins performed a dance during these instrumentals, in which he would beat himself silly with a tambourine; this can seen in the Genesis: In Concert film from 1977, as well as the live DVDs The Way We Walk -- Live in Concert (1992) and When in Rome 2007. "I Know What I Like" was the band's only pop hit of their early years, at a time when progressive rock bands largely avoided the singles market. The song was played on Top of the Pops and danced to by Pan's People. Its success would not be topped until And Then There Were Three's "Follow You Follow Me," some four years later. For the The Way We Walk and Turn It On Again tours, this song was played as part of a medley of old Genesis songs, and was often performed with excerpts of "Stagnation", from the album Trespass. During the Turn It On Again tour shows, images from the band's history cycled by in the background. In 1993, Marillion's ex-frontman Fish did a cover version on his Songs from the Mirror album. The original B-side of the single was the non-album track "Twilight Alehouse," a song about a lonely man who finds solace in the local tavern. This song had been in Genesis' live set since 1970 but was not recorded in the studio until 1973. "Twilight Alehouse" was later released as part of Genesis Archive 1967-75. The song has a claim to fame for being used twice on BBC Two's Top Gear. In the "Middle East Special", the Live Over Europe 2007 version of the song is played after Jeremy Clarkson (a fan of Genesis) and James May decide to sabotage the Fiat Barchetta of Richard Hammond (who hates Genesis) by making Hammond's car stereo redundant and sneaking in another radio that plays "I Know What I Like" repeatedly. In the "India Special", Clarkson uses the PA system in his Jaguar XJS to play the Selling England by the Pound version of the song to further irritate an already dismayed Hammond. *errata* Correction for the last two picture - it's created by Ungki Blvz *sorry Ungki...*
