Our local radio were discussing this on Saturday, so:-

What is your idea of the ultimate Summer anthem?

[Boboff]

Interesting.

In the Summer time by the Kinks?
That one that goes " we are young we are free"
Rolf Harris and the Court of King Caractcus.

"Oh boys who put the stitches in the scintillating whitches were just passing by" "Altogether now"

[Console]

That one that goes " we are young we are free"

The song is called 'Alright', although I can't think who it's by (it is a stupid name, if I recall correctly, though).

[Vivienne]

Isn't it by Greenday?

[timp]

Supergrass

[Vivienne]

It's not: It's "Supergrass".

[Boboff]

I just looked it up on my Player, it's Supergrass

[Boboff]

Lol

[Zoot]

It's Supergrass.

[catherine]

It's Supergrass.

[Vivienne]

Stop grassing.

[Console]

So...Supergrass then

[Boboff]

From the Album I should Coco, released in 1995.

[Vivienne]

I hate that song! It's a bit "young" for you as well, no?

[Zoot]

I don't know about the 'ultimate' summertime song, but I hate the song 'Staying out for the summer', not because its a bad song, but its use on the Advert for Haven (Other Holiday parks are available). The lyrics aren't exactly inspiring for a holiday -
'Im staying out for the summer
Playing games in the rain
The hills and the fortune
Got me fooled again"
But its the riff that does it, its the most moody, slow, depressing miserable piece of music, a classic case of the advertising board picking the song by name only.

[Vivienne]

Mine is Madonna's "Holiday". Also "Mr Blue Sky".

[Boboff]

Who does that one then? Is it Supergrass?

[Zoot]

Who does that one then? Is it Supergrass?

No, its Dodgy

[MK Chris]

I love 'Alright', I've got Supergrass' best of, but I'm not a big enough fan to have any of the other albums.

Upbeat Beatles tracks tend to make me feel quite summery, even though they're not specifically about summer.. 'I Want to Hold Your Hand', 'Can't Buy Me Love', that kind of thing.

[Boboff]

I hate that song! It's a bit "young" for you as well, no?

No, not at all. Music can appeal to all ages. Currently I have on my favorite play list everything from Adge Cutler to Scouting for Pigeon Wombats (Footloose) from Ten Pole Tudor through Dexy's midnight runners, counting crows, B52's on to Vampire Weekend and Duffy. I don't like Dance music or Rock or Metal, only some Rap & R&B, but pretty much all the rest I like in part.

Music is art, and does not have a shelf life.

[Vivienne]

A bit like you then!

[Zoot]

A bit like you then!

Is that a compliment or an insult? I don't understand...

[Console]

It was probably a 'joke'.

[Vivienne]

I don't think it's either. It just means Dolly Parton may appeal to a teenager, or Green Day may appeal to a grandpa.

[Console]

Doesn't that contradict your earlier implication that 'Alright' was too young for Boboff?
