Blah blah blah

No not the Iggy Pop song but this:

?

?

I saw this band once at the same event where erstwhile list member Guy Jackson got bottled off stage. (Poor old Guy.)

?

Guess what?

?

The band were utterly dreadful, nothing as good as the above single.

?

I did a Marc Riley and nipped out for some chips. The class of act that I missed wasn¡¯t in the same league as Dr Riley¡¯s though.

?

Speaking of utterly dreadful records, anybody know this:

?

???????????????

?

Peel played it a couple of times and I thought it was awful, but strangely alluring.

?

I had a mate who was in a teenage covers band called The Seedy Gees who released a record

?

???????????????

?

He had a box of his singles which I was leafing through one day. Imagine my surprise when I came across a copy of the Balloons single that ended up in his box. As you can see, the labels are almost identical!

?

Lucky old me!

?

I actually quite like The Balloons single now. It is ruddy queer to use a Partridgism and also is the only single that I haven¡¯t found on you tube.

?

That¡¯s my daily story, now it¡¯s time for you lot to amuse me.

?

Adam

?

PS Anybody invited Guy Jackson back? Last I heard he was in Barcelona.

Good stuff Adam, I'll listen to these when I'm not surrounded by other
tasteless judgemental humans.

Speaking of "awful, but strangely alluring", I regularly get a song stuck
in my head - I'm pretty sure that Pete introduced me to the band. I
know the song's called Nature, but that's all I've got. There's some
high-pitched caterwauling, some fairly shambolic vocals and a really
really catchy section of tune. It goes like this bom bom bom,
bom-ba-bom-ba-bom, da-da-doo-doo da-da-doo-doo. Anyway, I love it, but
I can't remember for the life of me.

Pete? PETE!?

Oh, why won't he answer?

Speaking of songs stuck in one's head for years and years...

I often have had this tune stuck in my head, a tune that has some added kiddie lyrics about a little goat... Basically, some "real" song with some added joke/jingle lyrics that we thought were funny when we were kids (all this in Greek).
It goes like this: aba-ni-bi-ah-ba-ni-beh---to katsikaki kanei behhh (translation:"aba-ni-bi-ah-ba-ni-beh---the little goat goes "beeeh").?

So I googled it, in Greek characters, about a month ago (after decades of singing it at random moments, without having a clue as to the origin)
?"¦Á ¦Ì¦Ð¦Á ¦Í¦É ¦Ì¦Ð¦É ¦Á ¦Ì¦Ð¦Á ¦Í¦É ¦Ì¦Ð¦Å"

And what do I find????!!!!
it is the 1978 Eurovision entry of Israel (and winner of the contest):


I don't know what amazed me more: how old the origins of that melody embedded in my brain is, or the fact that I put the query?in Google (which makes zero sense in Greek, it's just meaningless syllables) and it found it immediately...

I don¡¯t know if this is owt or nowt. There was a late 70s NZ band called Blah Blah Blah. They are mostly known for the i singles ¡°Don¡¯t Fight It Marsha, It¡¯s Bigger That Both of Us¡± and ¡°There is no Depression in New Zealand¡±.

??Intriguingly, ?their drummer DonMcaGlashan, amidst many other?
Achievements, had a big hit with Wayne Masons 60s song (with his band The Fourmuyla) called ?Nature with his Muttonbirds band. ?

Ah!? That would be ' Nature Is The Most Boring Mystery', by Bird Names!

I found it on an MP3 blog called... I can't remember what it was called but it had "Sheep" in the name
and was run by someone in Toronto.

I still have the mp3 so lemme know if you want a copy.? It's hard to find online; it was one of the band's first tracks and only released on a CDr:


Their first 'proper' album is nearest in sound/spirit, except maybe *more* lo-fi.? Excerpts here:


Pretty much everything else by the band (now defunct) is on Bandcamp:


'Open Relationship' is their TNSG, 'Wooden Lake/Sexual Diner' is their Dragnet.

the song and their reactions were markedly similar - firstly, horror at
its awfulness; followed by amused bafflement at (a) how such music could

Ah 12 & 16. Your sound track must be youtubers with annoying voices screaming "Oh My God I do not fricking believe it" for hours on end.

It's got better in recent years, but a few years back the demented laugh
of "Stampy Cat" would have had me reaching for my gun (if I had one).

Daughter (12) has just informed me the the girl she sits next to in class
listens to Pink Floyd and Jefferson Airplane.

Tee hee - you said "Bum"

Baby Shark would be better. Or the Flying Bum song

Great news Pete, both my children were forced to listen, separately, to
the song and their reactions were markedly similar - firstly, horror at
its awfulness; followed by amused bafflement at (a) how such music could
even exist, and (b) how anyone could enjoy it.

A day of triumph!

I was also watching this utter classic on the Annie Nightingale special BBC4 thing last weekend and it also freaked out Lucas.



Jane and Barton, what a stupendous ditty of weirdness. He said it sounded like something from a mad child horror movie. "But there's no music" he cried.

Great news Pete, both my children were forced to listen, separately, to
the song and their reactions were markedly similar - firstly, horror at
its awfulness; followed by amused bafflement at (a) how such music could
even exist, and (b) how anyone could enjoy it.
