done tripped and fell down a philhole

It’s ‪#‎fri­day‬ so you know what that means: Time for im­ages of Phil Collins Pho­to­shopped into Tom of Fin­land drawings!

 

And ya know what? Phil Phri­days are of­fi­cial­ly now a thing! 

As of right now Phil Phri­days are in phull ephect!

I think the very first Phil track I ever heard was this cov­er (be­low) It’s the first one I re­mem­ber lov­ing. Gen­er­al­ly cov­er­ing a clas­sic is a dumb idea but he makes a space to make this ver­sion his own.

 

The con­ven­tion­al wis­dom is that video killed off all the dudes that weren’t pret­ty like Du­ran Du­ran and that’s *kin­da* true but not en­tire­ly. Phil em­braced it *hard* and turned his short­com­ings into strengths.

Hell, he’s one of the few mu­sic artists in his­to­ry that could just put his face and no words on a cov­er and have it work. His head was a logo.

 

I al­ways get lumpy throat to this one so to light­en it a bit, here is a ter­ri­ble video some­one made for it.

 

Lit­er­al­ly just heard this one for the first time 10 min­utes ago. Love it. Brit class sys­tem stuff.

 

Nev­er heard this either.

 

Dude can play with soul leg­ends and hold his own even though he’s a lit­tle cock­ney eggman.

 

Plus he’s just an adorable lit­tle singing Bob Hoskins man!

 

So here guys
I’m now gonna post the lyrics to Phil Collins’ Don’t Lose My Num­ber just in case if some­thing hap­pens to the In­ter­net and if we need to get to them we will be able to.

Don’t Lose My Number
They came at night leav­ing fear behind
Shad­ows were on the ground
No­body knew where to find him
No ev­i­dence was found
“I’m nev­er com­ing back”
They heard him cry
And I be­lieve him
Well he nev­er meant to do any­thing wrong
It’s gonna get worse if he waits too long
Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you
Oh now Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not any­where that I can find you, oh no
Search­ing through the day and into the night
They wouldn’t stop till they found him
They did­n’t know him and they didn’t understand
They nev­er asked him why
“Get out of my way”
They heard him shout
Then a blind­ing light
Ooh all I could see was him run­ning down the street
Out of the shad­ows and into the night
Now Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not any­where that I can find you, oh
Don’t give up
Keep run­ning, keep hiding
Don’t give up
Bil­ly, if you know you’re right
Don’t give up
You know that I am on your side
Don’t give up
Oh Bil­ly, you bet­ter, you bet­ter, you bet­ter run for your life
Now Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not any­where that I can find you, oh
They came at night leav­ing fear behind
Shad­ows were on the ground
No­body knew where to find him
No ev­i­dence was found
“I’m nev­er com­ing back”
They heard him cry
And I be­lieve him
He nev­er meant to do any­thing wrong
It’s gonna get worse if he waits too long
Now Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Bil­ly, Bil­ly don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not any­where that I can find you, oh
 

So it’s been evident
that Ol Malm­berg done tripped and fell down a Philhole. 

What you may not know
is that my brain has de­cid­ed to change the line in this 1983 Gen­e­sis hit that goes “can’t feel a thing from my head down to my toes” to “can’t feel a thing from my head down toma­toes” as if Phil was read­ing from the fa­bled clever kitchen apron and my ex­pe­ri­ence has been all the rich­er for it.

 

Hap­py Phil Phri­days to everyone!

And if you keep it in your ❤, every day can be Phil Phri­day!
