Credit Card Daydreaming Blues, Mikkel Steen/Michael Hansen
Vocals, rhythm guitar: Mikkel Steen
Lead guitar: Michael Hansen
Bass: Morten Hansen
Drums: Morten Kühlmann
Recorded in the Ole Steen Studio, February 1990
4th song on appearing on The Hue I, length 6:08 minutes
4th song appearing on Revolution In Your Balls, disc one

This track was – at least in it’s basic structure – inspired by the Billy Joel hit We Didn’t Start The Fire, with the one difference that The Hue lyrics sounded more like a shopping list, rather than Billy Joel’s more serious tribute to important world events, personalities and icons. A typical Hue-way of borrowing an idea, only to completely change it around. Another source of inspiration – at least to the spoken part at the end of the track – could have been Golden Earring’s song Long, Blonde Animal where a similarly dissatisfied character cries out.

That this was early days, and that the guys set foot in a studio for the first time shows through in many a place on the recordings. One particular blunder on the Creditcard track (Michael starts too early at 5:49 minutes) should have been edited out. But at these sessions the emphasis was more on quantity rather than quality.

Michael: I guess I was trying to make a statement about the faults of materialism - I had absolutely no cash back then, and I could therfore easily knock the consumer society - but at the end of the day it turned into a joke-like song - and thank god for that! I remember that Mikkel wanted to kick my ass when he saw how quick he had to sing the words, something that occured again when we recorded Tell You. It was certainly easier for me to pack in plenty of lyrics than it was for him to get them all fitted in with the music.

Mikkel: This was the first and only attempt at vocal harmonies on this tape... Thank god!

Creditcard Daydreaming Blues, lyrics:

Green hair, swimwear, soft-porn, hotdog, punk-rock, popcorn
Coat, boat, car, bar, headset, stereo, TV and jetset
Walkman, talkshow, breakup, hat-rack, cheese and make-up

I wan’t more, more, more, I wan’t more, more, more
I wan’t more, more, more, I wan’t more, more, more

Whirlpool, skip school, shopping, daydream, icecream topping
Hairdress, express coffee, winegum, chocolate, toffee
Dine out, work out, gold chain, disco, fridge and airplane

I wan’t more, more...

I wan’t more, more...

Isn’t it fantastic, living off your plastic
All I wan’t is happiness, winebars, dinners and barclays
Access, Visa, American, I can, you can, they can

I wan’t more, more...

I wan’t more, more...

I wan’t more, more...

I wan’t more, more...

Then, then one day I was down the mall, you know, and then I reached into my pocket
My pocket, my pocket was empty, all my, everything, they were all gone
All my creditcards, aah

Give me back my creditcards, I want more, more, more, more
