Hefner - Gabriel At The Airport...

Yesterday, walking along grey autumn streets, this song brought me enormous cheer, as it always does.  Hefner's Gabriel At The Airport is not only an excellent, incredibly catchy, pop song, but the lyrics are Awesome and hilarious. There is a great recorded version on Catfight, and also The French, Darren Hayman's post-Hefner band, recorded it for Local Information.  It was intended to be on what would've been the sixth Hefner album, Travel, Go, according to Hayman's notes here.  The first part of the 43 song Catfight can give you an idea of what that might've sounded like.
