Campaign Theme

Postby Sarah » 12 Feb 2006, 21:25

I am thoroughly bored with reading Bob's posts/posts about Bob, but Alan singing his 'Bob Song' made me wonder if we shouldn't have our own official Campaign tune. This honour should not be reserved for darts players and wrestlers.

I could root out the CD me and my mate Colin put together for the Convention - lots of Dreamland/Margate related songs on there - and start up a poll. But I'm not as sturdy as Hairy Vince and couldn't take the virtual punches. And anyway, I bet we missed some corkers.

We've got some great events coming up this year and we need a belter of a tune to herald our arrival. So suggestions please (and I will punch - in person - anyone who mentions Chas and Dave).

I'm torn between Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell and Let's Work Together by Canned Heat.

I vote for Big Yellow Taxi. Is it pure coicidence that the track was featured on Joni Mitchell's 2004 album, which was called...Dreamland?

My vote's for the Joni Mitchell track as it seems hugely fitting and worked well at the convention but maybe we could update it to :

"Paved Paradise and put up a farmers' market and potholing centre aimed at under 10's that failed to raise the forecast revenues so we had to build flats, honest guv"

Go for a poll !

Hi All,
Been thinking about a song for us,Leanne suggest We Are The Champions by Queen.

I suggest the theme song for Bobs lot is, Busy Doing Nothing Working the whole day through, trying to find lots of things not to do, busy going nowhere---------

Only for the hardcore Click Here :wink:

Seriously though, I could write some music if anyone is interested although I'm not too hot on lyrics - anyone one want to collaborate?
