Hmm, I assume this was posted just before the site went down, so I didn't see it before.
No ipod for me. I have an mp3 player, which I bought for my car, but I've never used it. However, my husband did use it to record an interview during a redundancy process, and that was very interesting.
So this isn't about downloading. But I may just make this particular item available for download. My husband insisted that I buy him a cd off ebay for one track that he'd heard on the radio - a version of Wimoweh by Karl Denver.
I like the song Wimoweh (also known as The Lion Sleeps Tonight). There's been like 100+ versions of it starting back in the 1930s and it's an absolute cracker to sing along to either while drunk or doing boring household chores, or more ideally both. I'm singing it now -"EEeeeeee-ee-eee-ee-e-e-eeee-um-um-awaaaaaaaeeeee" - and I'm perfectly in tune too I'll have you know.
This version is by Karl Denver. Perhaps some of you are huge fans of his and are going to be offended, but I suspect that's unlikely. Anyone out there who's familiar with Vic Reeves / Bob Mortimer and knows the pub singer from their game show Shooting Stars would feel an instant recognition for the singing style of this song. For extra effect there's a lot of "hnnnnngggg" in it as well. The random hint of hammond organ accompaniment and unsympathetically "Ren & Stimpy" like guitar solo only add to the atmosphere.
I've just had to listen to it 3 times in a row and laughed harder every time.
I realise bad music isn't to everyone's taste, and I suppose it's not so much bad as unusual and unexpected. But I have giggled myself silly over the last half hour or so listening to this. I bet my neighbours are a bit annoyed too
I was going to upload it to annoy the rest of you too, but geocities isn't playing nice so I won't. Tonight. I'll do it another day when I'm not so tired.
Bwaaahaaahaaahaaa. This is the stuff the murder music episode should have used.

I never knew there were 100+ versions of that song. The only version I have ever heard was in the 80s and loved the song since.
The problem with iPods is that when the battery goes, then what? I bought a reasonable priced MP3 but suspect myself in the breaking of it. So I bought another one from Argos and took care of it better than my first MP3. All I do is transfer music from either my Windoes Media Player or from a CD via the Windows Media Player/Real Player and jus tlisten when I go to work and bacvk home. At the moment I am listening to the soundtracks to the Halo games.
And now for everybody's enjoyment......
