Something Subtle
Apologies if this has already been covered. I have tried searching under several criteria and come up with nothing so thought I would start a thread.
Whilst busy playing about in illustrator creating my latest T Shirt Masterpiece (what delusions of grandeur?) Resolutions came on in the background.
Now it's not one of my faves to be fair, it reeks of rushing it through because he had a party to go to.
That was until the hook in the background caught my attention.
If you have it (come on guys silly question really) put it on and have a listen and see what you think? I'll wait here, don't look ahead.
Well did you get it? The slide guitar and the toy piano riffing off one another are playing a very slow version of Auld Lang Syne. Suddenly I am reappraising this song and my love of JoCo (in a manly bearded way of course) has taken on a new height and I have to credit this song as better than I originally thought.
Any one else found something like this or have anything they want to point out?
Comments
However, it has already been noted in the Thing A Week Redux entry. Apparently he's a real sucker for a slow Auld Lang Syne.
@harpo787, that reminds me of the 'One Song to the Tune of Another' game on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. It also reminds me of the many parody songs that I didn't realise were parodies until I either heard another parody of the same song (and even then I don't always get it right. When I first heard it, I thought the great Luke Ski's '88 lines about 44 Simpsons' was a parody of The Brunching Shuttlecocks' '88 lines about 42 Presidents'. Oh, how wrong I was), or heard the original song playing in a supermarket or somewhere and did a double take, wondering why they'd play a funny song like the one I know on the radio.
But I guess we're even; he thought Title Of The Song was an original by Yale's Out of the Blue, when in fact it's a Da Vinci's Notebook song. I think he also thought that Why Does the Sun Shine was by TMBG.
