About This Track
In the 69 Love Songs booklet, Stephin Merritt says When My Boy Walks Down The Street is “more like the Jesus and Mary Chain”.
LD Beghtol writes that, “This song is also heavily influenced by The Three O’Clock, an LA ‘paisley underground’ band Stephin and Claudia loved in the 80s, whose terrific first two albums have just recently been released on CD”.
Also from the booklet: Daniel Handler: “I think there will be people who hear this song think that ‘…and he’s going to be my wife’ is a gay marriage statement”. Stephin Merritt: “Well, I suppose it is”.
