great classic chord progressions, blues bass lines and variation hooks. Nice little pick me up in an August heat wave up here on the west coast.

Used as the theme tune of Round Britain Quiz on BBC Radio 4.  Never realised it was actually a piece of 'real' music!

Keep playing this, Bill. The variety is wonderfully refreshing, and that's what RP is all about.
I agree 100% about variety being the lifeblood of RP... but quality has to enter into the picture, too!

Makes me think of the music they play at the movies to get you to go to the concession counter for popcorn and Milk Duds.
Amen.

I like it. Sort of odd, kind of poppy, pretty silly. Remind you of anyone? c.

Any cafe that has its own orchestra is way more fun than the corner Starbucks.

My God! What have we done to be subjected to such mediocrity?! I've uploaded a number of decent songs which our gracious hosts immediately panned, but I didn't complain. Hey, different strokes and all that. But then they play this...?? I'd rather get a root canal than listen to any more of this.

vondeful, vondeful.......... I wrote the above when the song first started, may I have a retraction of the above statement? boogie down..........

30 seconds of this song would have been sufficient. Happy but way too repetitive!
Posted 16 years ago by hikeupit    [ Reply ]
I like this song. It does sound like the theme song from some cheezy game show or something, but hearing it always cheers me up.

I have always liked Penguin Cafe Orchestra. This is a very different type of song for them, but I like it a lot. Thanks for playing it.
