Pterodactyl

October 10, 2011 1:34 AM

I woke up with a song in my head in the style of the fall and the chorus went like this: "I think I just saw a pterodactyl... I think I just saw pterodactyl". Does this song exist, or did I just imagine it?

If it does exist, I am very interested in hearing it.

Fujiya & Miyagi have a song called Pterodactyls, it might be what you're thinking of?

The Fall's song "New Puritan" includes the line "it's a dinosaur cackle, a pterodactyl cackle."

Dawn of the Replicants also apparently have a song called "Pterodactyl" - I've not heard it, but I'm told they're not dissimilar to The Fall.
