It's been out maybe a year or so? Well, maybe a cover of it has, but
the original was out more like 20 years ago! written by Glenn
Tilbrook and Chris Difford, from the 1980 album "Argybargy."- It is
"Pulling Mussels ( from the shell )" 'But behind the chalet my
holiday's complete, and I feel like William Tell, Maid Marion on her
tiptoed feet, pulling mussels from the shell' by Squeeze. Squeeze
had a number of hits including the classic "Up the Junction" - 'I
never thought it would happen, with me and the girl from Clapham,
out on the windy common, that night I aint forgotten....."

So, no not for Michelle, but who knows, it might have been Michelle
behind the chalet......
