Shattered like a glass goblin

Weird day. Schools out for summer and I’m working from home. So in between counting spots on odd bits of insect viscera, elder son’s wanting the index to ‘Delia Smith’s Vegetarian Collection’ reading out loud and out in the real world it’s all live action ‘MI5/Spooks.’
Whatever.
Once upon a time there was a nice middle-class boy who went to a party where there were drugs. Being Randy Newman and not Harlan Ellison, he wrote a song rather than a story about the experience. It was covered by Three Dog Night and became a minor hit in 1970, then Tom Jones and the Stereophonics produced an almost identical version in 1999.
Coming across a copy of the 1970 single while trawling the iTunes catalogue, I was suddenly reminded of one Wesley Wyndham Pryce back in the days when he first came to Sunnydale and discovered that monsters weren’t just pictures in books. Somehow this turned into a vid about Wes and his various relationships with women. You can download it from here.
