stuart estell Posted April 8, 2005 Posted April 8, 2005 (edited) Ladies and gentlemen, Far be it from me to do any overt electioneering here, but as most people here probably already know, I run the Official Monster Raving Loony Party website, and thought at least some of you might find this amusing. In keeping with the main parties having election anthems, the Official Monster Raving Loony Party now has one too... I've done all the editing and electronic stuff for it, while the vocal (and lyrics) were provided by our candidate for Croydon, John Cartwright, aka Colonel Cocoa-Bean, who is our very eccentric indeed shadow minister for chocolate. Downloadable from here if you want a laugh... http://omrlp.brinkster.net/ElectionAnthem2005.asp <here ends the party political broadcast> Edited April 8, 2005 by stuart estell

bellowbelle Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 (edited) Hey, I like it! It's 2:09 AM here but I'm at the computer because I've been working on my website. It's still quite pathetic and needs a lot of work. I don't know enough about using HTML to do that right, so I'll have to use the good old Page Builder.... drinking to much coffee right now. So, Stuart, I like that sort of...um, either off-key or bi-tonal-key sound, that sort of 'sideways' sound. Since I recently heard of, and heard some of, them, I'm wondering if you've ever heard Viva Voce. They have a website with a movie and sound clips...vivavoce.com, I think. (There's at least one of those strange-key sounding things.) I recently heard my daughter's band play somewhere and, though I couldn't stay late enough to hear Viva Voce, I did listen at their website. Edited to add: There were 3 bands, I'll add, and the one I didn't yet mention actually had an accordion player. She didn't really play it a whole lot but...hey, it's worth mentioning!!! (Maybe next time they'll see the light and have a concertina player.) Edited April 9, 2005 by bellowbelle
stuart estell Posted April 9, 2005 Author Posted April 9, 2005 So, Stuart, I like that sort of...um, either off-key or bi-tonal-key sound, that sort of 'sideways' sound. Weird, isn't it, there's something strangely compelling about the way John sings. I thought about repitching it so that it was all properly in tune with the backing, but then decided to leave it as it is. Far sillier. For what it's worth, he can also sing the whole song backwards (phonetically) and can sing the national anthem of pretty much every country you've heard of... And he speaks Esperanto.
Ivan Viehoff Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 May I just say I approve of OMRLP policy on tapirs. When I was a student, our college adopted a tapir at the Cotswold Wildlife Park, and my sister made me a cuddly tapir in the colours of the college scarf - puce and white. We called it Hugh Mungus. Unfortunately you have no candidates in my constituency. It could possibly be said that our sitting Conservative MP (a refreshingly endangered species in recent elections), whose views are somewhere to the right of David Blunkett, is at least monstrous, but I'm not voting for her. It won't make any difference though.
Chris Timson Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Thank you for that, Stuart, I feel deeply moved (though to be fair that could be the bout of gastro-enteritis that struck two days ago...) Chris
groeswenphil Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Wow ! The Official Monster Raving Loony Party.... And the biggest joke concerning the Official Monster Raving loony Party is that they probably won the last two elections without even realising it. Personally, I hope they do really well. Phil
