Should have been St Etienne's biggest hit!

― Forest Pines, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:37 (nineteen years ago)

Whatever happened to the rest of that St Et kids' album anyway?

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

opportunity missed on a/c of non-release on 7", 12", CD etc.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

I have a copy.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:38 (nineteen years ago)

PENGUINS!

'Cos they are always dressed for a party and I likes em I does!

― kv_nol, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

Right. We've got some penguins and a rabbit. This zoo is going to be the tits!!!

― the next grozart, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

Polar bears

Cos they are fun to look at and they could feed on the extra penguins, which would make for a great tourist trap.

― Jibe, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

Jibe makes my heart sad.

― kv_nol, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

They can eat the rabbits too

― Jibe, Thursday, 15 March 2007 11:59 (nineteen years ago)

Think about it... a zoo with lots of animals but actually only one species that you'd be sure to see. You could come a number of times and play games, like "Guess what animals there will be in the zoo today" and stuff like that

― Jibe, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:00 (nineteen years ago)

Baby lions and tigers. Only baby ones, mind.

― C J, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

1 ant.

― StanM, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:02 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, get the polar bear to eat them once they're over 8 months old.

― the next grozart, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

You would want the bears to eat baby animals?! Now that's horrible. Adult lions and tigers fighting for their survival against blood-thirsty polar bears would make for a good show though. I really want to open such a zoo if only to see who would win this fight.

― Jibe, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

I can't help it, I really like Jibe's idea. I'm also having a horrible day which could explain it!

― kv_nol, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

a human being - aaaaaaaah DYS

― Alan, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:05 (nineteen years ago)

That St Et Kids album...

Nice try guys, but my kids wanted "Rockaway Beach" by that age.

― Mark G, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

They can eat the rabbits too

It gives them an enormous sense of well-being, and then they're happy for the rest of the day.

― accentmonkey, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

Penguins are quite smelly.

― C J, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

No need to worry about that thanks to the polar bears!

― Jibe, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

Boo. I was hoping this was a picture thread!

― Jesse, Thursday, 15 March 2007 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

a human being

Good idea. I nominate Eric Burdon.

― StanM, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:08 (nineteen years ago)

Keep him away from the Alan Price.

― Mark G, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:18 (nineteen years ago)

I was collecting pictures of his band members, but I never got the whole Set.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

You could make do with Fame and Price together.

― Mark G, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

Really that St Et kids' album was never going to be a serious contender. Titles like "Barnyard Brouhaha" don't exactly roll off the tongue. And kids today will want the Actual Goldfrapp as opposed to Cracknell's U certificate version on "Ooh Ba Cheeky Pop" or whatever it's called.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

Cracknell's U certificate version on "Ooh Ba Cheeky Pop"

In fairness this sounds brilliant

― tissp, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:27 (nineteen years ago)

b-but You Can Count on Me! A song which would have a key part to play in a Home Counties Sesame Street, which would presumably be called Acacia Avenue and feature characters called Large Lark and Geoffrey the Grumpy.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

It actually is about a zillion times sexier than Actual Goldfrapp but The Kids will view it as Konnie Huq trying to be saucy.

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:28 (nineteen years ago)

and not forgetting the Account Ant.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

The song's real name is "Excitation" but maybe they should have stuck with "Ooh Ba Cheeky Pop."

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:30 (nineteen years ago)

It actually is about a zillion times sexier than Actual Goldfrapp but The Kids will view it as Konnie Huq trying to be saucy.

The Kids evidently lack taste in women

― tissp, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

Paris Hilton; need I say more?

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 15 March 2007 13:38 (nineteen years ago)
