"Greetings to the New Brunette" is a song by Billy Bragg from the 1986 album Talking with the Taxman About Poetry. It was the second single from the album, following "Levi Stubbs' Tears", and reached No. 58 on the UK Singles Chart in October 1986. The song features Johnny Marr on electric guitar, and vocals by Kirsty MacColl. The song was selected by actor David Tennant as one of his Desert Island Discs in 2010. The lyrics "Whoops, there goes another year / Whoops, there goes another pint of beer" echo the "Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant. .. Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam" lyrics from the 1959 Frank Sinatra song "High Hopes" composed by Sammy Cahn and James Van Heusen.more »
