h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think we probably need one. While a bespoke anthem would be preferable I believe we need something until one is written.

Inspired by Br Azathoth's enthusiasm I would like to suggest Gogol Bordello's 'Start Wearing Purple'.

There is a live version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V8984mDgOg

I include the latter link as I was fortunate enough to be at this very performance, getting incredibly wet.

Anyway, does anybody have any alternative suggestions or wish to register their support for the Bordello?

I can live with that anthem.

Purple is

...and... I still have my wits and sanity

I wholeheartedly support this motion.

Ok ive watched the clip on you tube and and its allright by be . The only other song i could think of was Bowie's 'dance of the ever circling skeletal family' from diamond dogs .

best fishes ......tod

It's looking like a bit of a landslide!

I must confess with no small degree of shame that I don't have a copy of Diamond Dogs.

Is the vote over?If not id like to suggest "The boys are back in town" by Thin Lizzy.

I used to play that in pubs! Mind you, I think that *everyone* that's played rock covers in pubs has played it at some point.

I think 'Purple' is going to sway it but I've had a little idea: we could each nominate a song for Da' Bruvver'ood Playlist.

Its our Broover`ood.

And Bruvveròod.

Or there's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg1RuXvlxxQ

Wow, I really am the only person who finds that funny. I feel so unique.

I haven't looked at it yet: I'm getting sidetracked a lot.

I'd like to nominate Afroman .... Because I Got High.



If the cap fits and all that.

or.....


Dr Hook ..... I Got Stoned and I Missed It.

I care not for your incineration. We'll have no cistercians being cast 'round 'ere thank you very much.

Well, you can't expect me to come back and not take this little challenge can you.

What about Dazed and Confused then.

Yeah, that's nearer the mark.

Spot on I'd say .... da bruvver'ood to a T.


Have you entered the lottery for a ticket.

Yep. I won fifteen tickets last week alone. Out of date underground tickets, but tickets nevertheless.

Well I think that tells us all we need to know.


I'm off to bed .... goodnight.
