What the f_ are you listening to, Jones?
… asks my charming bride, as the unmistakeable signature tune to the eponymous ’80s children’s television series echoes around the lounge.
I love the new ‘house’ Christmas present – the iPod docking station!
For the first time I can switch my Pod of Eyes to random play and settle back on to the couch with a mug of tea, and make myself comfortable for the 5.8 days that would be required to hear all of the 2,040 tracks therein – and in booming surroundsound too!
But (and you knew there was a teeny weeny ‘but’ lurking, didn’t you?) the downside to this remote-controlled musical-wallowing is that all of those (until now) hidden gems of musical idiosyncrasy I’d kept secretly tucked away are now served up to a wider audience.
Said wider audience being, not to put too fine a point on it, the person who shares the matrimonial bed; my hyper-intelligent and, occasionally, observationally-cutting wife.
So the more well-known artists such as ‘The Killers’, ‘InLight’, ‘Kate Havnevik’, ‘Linkin Park’, ‘Muse’, ‘Paramore’ and ‘Vampire Weekend’ share the room with, ahem, ‘Danny Rhymez and Matty B’s’ track… ‘Bananaman’.
And that’s the only reason I was listening to it.
Honest!
B.
Oh I LOVE Bananaman!!! Just had to watch a clip on youtube!
lol!!
Is that the best excuse you could up with for having that track? 😉
TUNE!!!!!!!!
Perpetual, it’s an addictive little number. As are many that the unsaintly duo have turned out. I feel as though I need to go to the musical equivalent of an AA class where I can stand up and say, ‘My name’s Brennig and I like Danny Rhymez and Matty B’. 🙂
Lol, I have an extensive collection of old TV Themes…. but not on my iPod!
Now, Terrahawks… STAY ON THIS CHANNEL!
Jason, as Danny Rhymez and Matty B read this, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before they suggest that you nip along to CD:Baby where you can buy a copy of their Lifeblood album (not Lifeblood Mix Tape – even though in my opinion Lifeblood Mix Tape is better than Lifeblood) and you can experience their own, unique version of Bananaman. 🙂
i disagree, don’t do that.
download it off itunes, i get more money.
i nearly have enough saved up to start my own record company.
