I once spent an awesomely drunken night singing that song with a bunch of Irish folkies and a very confused Senegalese drummer.

Stephin Merritt, One April Day

One of my all-time favourite films, BTW. Patricia Clarkson rocks.

I liked Del Amitri’s Scotland song for the 1998 World Cup.

It’s like they heard Three Lions, and completely missed the point

David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and Lightning Seeds - Three Lions (Football’s Coming Home)

I preferred England’s unofficial 1998 World Cup song though, and I don’t even support England.

Fat Les - Vindaloo

Maybe we can stop at 1,000 after excluding the repeats we judge to be true repeats?

Your call. I don’t know if you were actually planning to close at 1000 or not. If so, digging out the duplicates would be nice. (If not a lot of work.)

Oh hey some stuff I thought about on the way to work the other day…


Fat Boy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank

And the source of the break beat…


Sliced Tomatoes - Just Brothers

And the song that put me on this train of thought…


Beastie Boys - Root Down


and the source Jimmy Smith - Root Down (and Get It!)

You are out of control. I’m happy and sad to have to admit that each one of those is new to me! :slight_smile:

What!?! Really? The Jimmy Smith and Just Brothers I can excuse… but man everything on Ill Communication from the Beastie Boys is great stuff and how can you have never heard any Fat Boy Slim?

Hey now… we all gotta learn from our elders. If not for an elderly black gentleman I may not have any Lee Morgan in my music library yet… and you know when an elderly black gentleman says check out this jazz cat, that’s advice you take as soon as possible!

My familiarity with Fatboy Slim and the B Boys is better but I could never have connected those in sequence. And I could not hum the FBS and BB songs until hearing them again.

I’ll rally though! :smiley_cat:

Ahh I have always been interested in finding out what musicians that my favorite musicians listen to or are influenced by. You will find some really awesome stuff that way.

I don’t know how to write a script that would count for us.

My “plan” was to count manually when we get closer to 1k and then separately list potential repeats for review and JUDGMENT.

Then . . . count 'em down. :smiley_cat:
