"Ten Feet Tall" is a song by Colin Moulding. It appeared on the 1979 album Drums and Wires. It was re-recorded at the request of Virgin with more emphasis on electric guitars and released in the US as a single. The single reappeared on the odds-and-ends compilation Rag and Bone Buffet.

Song Notes: A song that was re-recorded for a US single that never happened. The song is pretty good, but doesn't necessarily seem to have that "single" quality. Perhaps it's that Colin Moulding sings the title more like "Feel like I'm walkin' 'round a telephone pole" rather than "Feel like I'm walkin' round Ten Feet Tall". Either way, though, it's good, but the US single never came out. A UK single did, but I don't think it really did anything chart-wise. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
