When I searched my music files for titles with needle in them I only came up with the Elvis Costello & the Imposters song already listed, plus Needle Boy by Nick Cave, so I will name that and add a Nick Cave story (needle-related);

"The Boatman’s Call has long been considered one of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ most confessional records, written around the time of Cave’s break-up with English musician PJ Harvey.

But while it’s long been known that the 1997 album was in part inspired by her, Cave revealed on Tuesday the reasons behind the break-up – and the toll it took on him.

“I didn’t give up on PJ Harvey, PJ Harvey gave up on me,” he wrote, in answer to a pair of questions from fans on his website The Red Hand Files.

There I am, sitting on the floor of my flat in Notting Hill, sun streaming through the window (maybe), feeling good, with a talented and beautiful young singer for a girlfriend, when the phone rings. I pick up the phone and it’s Polly.

“Hi,” I say

“I want to break up with you.”

“Why?!” I ask.

“It’s just over,” she says.

I was so surprised I almost dropped my syringe."

Nah I've got this all sewn up.

[Heston]

World in my Eyes - Depeche Mode
The Day the World Turned Day-Glo - X Ray Spex
My World is Empty Without You - Supremes
The Man Who Sold the World - Bowie
Mad World - Tears for Fears

Couple of really good ones right there, wish I'd thought of them.

Thanks! Though I think someone else mentioned the X Ray Spex song earlier. They are really good ones. Probably my favorite Supremes song. Though I am sure Heston would prefer a Phil Collins version.

I think overall he prefers the Phuzzlewuggies version. I think it charted.

Phil's version of You Can't Hurry Love sold a million in the UK compared to 600,000 for the Supremes version. That means Phil's version is 400,000 better.
