Boof Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 As an auld fart, I don't recognise a fair few of these folk so, in the words of Fat Sally...'Who ARE these people?' http://www.bbc.co.uk.../god-only-knows A list of them - in order - would be grand.

Boomstick Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Nope. Recognised a fair few but there are some that I have no idea who they are. Brian Wilson being autotuned was ******* painful at the end. Such a voice he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 FTFY Or even Morph Of course, I would normally have used Rolf Harris as the artist in question but he seems off limits now. Really need to watch it with these ironic 70's references these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Drago Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 All the advert does is highlight how shit and unvaried the BBC's coverage is. The only decent people in it are ones that have been around for decades. Dave Grohl the token Rock artist and Pharrell as close as it gets to hip-hop. Nobody representing hard rock or metal whatsoever but as soon as Download festival comes around idiots like Fern Cotton will be fawning over how great the bands are that never get any daytime coverage any other time of year.

Boof Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm sure I heard the creative director being interviewed on Chris Evans earlier this week and think he'd spent something like a year and a half on 'the project'. What the flying ****? A year and a ******* half? At MY expense? Get tae ****. ******* BBC wankers. In fact not only that, Evans was fawning over it as if it was the greatest thing since unsliced bread, never mind sliced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boof Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Nae luck. Cost me nothing. Well me too since my Mrs pays the licence fee...and if she renews it after it's expired, well more fool her. But in my defence I was mid-rant at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Jarman Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It?s hard to tell whether those lyrics are directed at us or them. God only knows where the BBC would be without us: the licence fee paying public, or god only knows where we would be without the BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Awful. A simple song and they absolute ruin it with terrible and un-needed orchestration. Perfect Day worked as the simplicity of the song highlighted the various singing styles and the wee vignettes of each artist were also fairly simple. This is just OTT crap - why did they need a tiger to jump on the piano ffs? If it was meant to be a "look how bloody electic and awesome we are" piece of smugness by the beeb well it's missed it's mark. Damn institution with all it's corruption should be shut down.
