Friends and I work together with a great teacher, John Purcell at the Brookline Music School, and we work as a band arranging, playing and twice a year performing songs.
At the moment we are working on Jeff Tweedy’s Harrison-esque “You Never Know” from Wilco (The Album) and online there is a dispute about one couplet that is mostly rendered as:
“It’s a long heavy hell
Super size it by ten”
It’s actually:
“It’s a long, heavy hell
synthesizer Patel”
Synthesizer Patel is a re
al life fictional character from the show Look Around You:

meets Britain’s leading synthesiser expert, Synthesiser Patel (Sanjeev Singh Kohli), who demonstrates a number of his amazing keyboards including a water synthesiser.”

“Synthesizer Patel only ever appeared on a few occasions. When did you realise he had become a bit of a cult hero?”
