I was out at the 'Sprawl' night last night and afterwards we nipped into
Smithfields as we were still up for it & its a free night, plus sometimes
Clair from Clear djs there and the djs reminded me of what the track was
that the Merry Pranksters mixed in with 'On' on that night.

Seems like a funny mix to choose but it was totally brill the way the
Pranksters did it ... They played Li'l Louis' "French Kiss' at the normal
45 speed, then just after the bit with the woman moanin er head off, when
you think, 'Right, at last, Everest has been conquered & the flag is now
flyin', and you expect them to settle down for a little blissed out chill &
a ciggie ...nstead, they take off again, climbin & climbin ( Li'l Louis
must've been tops at the ol Tantric bizness I reckon!) and just when its
all gettin really hot & frantic & the woman starts her moanin & miaoooowing
again, the Pranksters switched the speed down to 33 then slowly, sloooowly
started mixing 'On' in ... ohhh it was just sooo wicked the way they did
it, wish I had a pair of decks sos I could have a go meself!
