Nardwuar: Who are you?

Dave Vanian: I have no idea.

Nardwuar: You're Dave Vanian of The Damned!

Captain Sensible: I'm Phil Collins and buy my records 'cause I need some hair restorer.

Nardwuar: You're Captain Sensible of The Damned!

Captain Sensible: Ahh, thank you. Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. . . .

Nardwuar: That's kind of Canadian. Billy Cowsill, he lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. CS and...

Dave Vanian: Ahh, yeah!

Captain Sensible: The Cowsills, yeah! [sings] "The rain, the park and other things, ta-da ta-da, da-da da-da... "

Nardwuar: What's Captain Sensible's obsession with Billy Cowsill there?

Dave Vanian: He loves the Cowsills.

Captain Sensible: They're an exceedingly good band and I think a Cowsill revival would be long overdue. In actual fact, you know how bands have got website things going on? I checked out the Cowsills website. They've got this new album out called Global, actually. So I bought it on the internet and they took my money and sent me the record. And it's jolly good as well. I think, you know, there's a lot to be said for the Cowsills, and the internet. The great thing about the internet is that obscure things - there's no one in Britain who likes the Cowsills - so you can get in touch with people who equally have this Cowsills fetish.
