No Rock And Roll Fun

MISHEARINGS CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY: We were slightly disappointed when Paddy McAloon confessed that, actually, the name Prefab Sprout hadn't been created when he misheard Nancy Sinatra singing about "peppered sprout", so we feel a bit better discovering that Herman's Hermits should never have been called Herman's Hermits at all - Peter Noone, who's back and touring again, took his nickname from Bullwinkle and Rocky. Only he misheard the name Sherman. Or so he's claiming now. But how can we be sure it's not just more pretty lies?
