BigRedX Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 The Plastic Bertrand song uses the backing track to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9B2D2gwms0 With a new vocal (which wasn't actually by Plastic Bertrand but by the producer of the original version). Quote
Count Bassy Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) "Making Bacon" by the Pork Dukes. Used to be very poular with (some of) the Morris team at the time. Actually I withdraw that nomination. It has no artistic merit at all! Edited September 13, 2015 by Count Bassy Quote

Delberthot Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 William Shatner eh? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lul-Y8vSr0I[/media] It is a great song but has to be considered a tad novelty [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE_MpQhgtQ8[/media] And who could forget - (NSWF ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXtx6N3ww7Y I drew the line at posting the adult version of Agadoo from the Blue Album And anything by The Proclaimers, Paulo Nuttini and most of the UK pop charts for the last 10 years Quote

seashell Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1441966835' post='2863300'] Don't have time to go thru whole thread so apologies if these have already been posted [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxUfg3uCBbg[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cITjfIMXN0g[/media] No so much novelty in the actual sounds as the not quite run of the mill subject matter. [/quote] Some absolute gems in this thread. I love nearly all of them. But especially good call on Ray Stevens. I rather like 'It's me again Margaret', although it's not very PC! :-) Also, I had Big Bad John played at my Dad's funeral. He loved that song. They played it as the coffin was brought in. The pall bearers placed it down and bowed just as the words rang out 'At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man'. Perfect timing! :-) Quote

KevB Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Another bizarre offering from Ray Stevens was a version of Glenn Miller's 'In The mood' performed entirely as chickens. I recall it distinctly as we had it on vinyl at hospital radio and I'd give it a spin every now and again. Quote
cameltoe Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) [quote name='operative451' timestamp='1441901003' post='2862820'] This is seriously my favourite record of all time. I want it played at my funeral. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8sfrg4bFoc[/media] [/quote] Ha! I've asked my wife to play Gay Bar by Electric 6 at my funeral. I doubt she will. So I'll throw Gay Bar into the mix, and this: http://youtu.be/Xz7_3n7xyDg Edited September 12, 2015 by cameltoe Quote
chris_b Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I wouldn't say Wooly Bully was a novelty record! We used to play it as an encore, did again last night after being reminded of it in this thread. The audience loved it. The other odd one we sometimes do is Werewolves Of London. Quote

lowdown Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Four to the floor, cliches and sound FX with some octaves thrown in to round it all up. Exactly how John Williams imagined it should be. All very well played and arranged though. http://youtu.be/bYXAVp0NGjo Quote
