Look Around You Music 2000: The Poll (Poll)

only one of these still regularly appears in my head, some 45 years after first broadcast.

Machadaynu will pop into my brain approximately every six months...and let's not forget the remix...

Tony Rudd for the win

All three of these get stuck in my head from time to time, especially Machadaynu - my vote is probably that BUT I'm Rapping (which ofc is more sung than rapped) combined with the out of breath panting at the end and the pre-song chit chat about the perfect profiterole and how rappers 'talk over the music, and the rhythm' is my fav overall skit.

i really want a go of synthesizer patel's linquinth

All great and prescient but Anthony Carmichael edges it with his 'rap'

Let's not forget Jack Morgan's 'Reggae Man'...

if we ever do a poll for all the tunes from the series i'm going for little mouse though0

Yep, Machedeynu is the catchiest earworm of all time. Although I do enjoy going round the house saying "I'm rappin, I'm rappin', I'm rap-rap-rappin', I'm rap-rap-rap-rap-rappity-rappin'". Not as much as i like singing Machedeynu though

"Well you've certainly given the ghost of Tchaikovsky something to think about"
For some strange reason for years I've been thinking that Tony Baxter's contribution was called "Sexual Interface". Where on earth did I get that from? Bit worrying if I dreamt it.

It may actually be called that, and she may be Toni rather than Tony, I have just guessed these from Youtube

I think it was called Sexual Interface, yes....

It definitely has made my search history more interesting - but yep Wiki seems to reckon so as well. I'm just glad my subconscious didn't invent it...

those bloody thieves....always stealing your synthesisers.

The name "Sexual Interface" comes from towards the end of the episode where you're shown X Factor-style reminders of the hopeful performances.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i enjoy saying "i'm rap-rap-rap-rap-rap-rap-rappin" while toggling between two imaginary cameras plenty but voted machadanyu, his utter seriousness during that high note kills me

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Some of the music is linked here along with Pete S' 'Gelg' project, he's a big fan of Boards of Canada.
