"So, what do you do?" I ask, because party conversation isn't all 'me, me, me'."Oh, I'm in the music industry," said the stranger, relieved to be able to talk about himself at last.
I am intrigued.
"I'm intrigued. What do you do?"
"I'm the drummer in a tribute band."
I am no longer intrigued.
"Oh. Right. Anyone I've heard of?"
"Yeah. You've heard of The Bootleg Beatles?"
Too right I've heard of The Bootleg Beatles. The acme of tribute bands – the post-Fab Foursome that started the whole massive tribute show avalanche.
"Bloody. Hell's. Teeth. You're in the Bootleg Beatles? You're the Bootleg Ringo?"
"Leave it out, mate. I'm in The Bootleg Bootleg Beatles. We're a Bootleg Beatles tribute act. Wango Carr, as it happens. Pubs. Working men's clubs. Church hall discos."
"Riiiight…"
"And see my Mrs over there?"
He points to a dumpy woman with a moustache holding a pint glass in each hand, holding forth on the qualities of various brands of cask conditioned ale.
"She's Agnetha in a Bjorn Again tribute act."
"Don’t tell me..."
He told me.
"Re-Bjorn Again Again. They've got a Teletubbies angle going. Very hot on the pre-school scene."
Christ, swinging parties have gone right downhill these days.
Life imitates LOLs: It has been brought to my attention that besides the original, Australia-based Bjorn Again act, there are also four officially licensed Bjorn Agains touring the world.
Which makes, I suppose, the last of them Bjorn Again Again Again Again.

And Misty goes Fourth, hurrah!
Dammit fourth.
There was an item on the news yesterday about a fight at a fancy dress party, where the police had to arrest Tinky Winky, Superman and and Ommpa Loompa. Now that is something I want to see on YouTube ...
Gah stupid slow internets which I have to log into ...
Re: Bjorn Again Again Again Again ... Praise The Lord x 4
p.s.could they be a quarter as good as "Are We Them" (REM)?
Debster - I have dreams like that if I eat cheese before bedtime.
Oh, by the way, I had a cricket related pop group album name thingy occur to me the other day -
Are We Not Men? We Are Devon Malcolm.
Well I thought it was funny.
What about platinum balloon for a slightly heavier (in terms of molecular weight but with a similar valence as Led) Led Zeppelin tribute band?
Possibly not a funny as I originally thought.
Is it ture that you have a tribute blog called "Hairyduck"
If I may be so bold as to make a recommendation that ties in nicely to today's post as well as yesterday's about new music.
The supremely talented Easy Star All-Stars have just released their third album 'makeover'...this one is the reggae version of Sgt. Pepper, 'Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band'.
Listen to samples here: http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Stars-Lonely-Hearts-Band/dp/B001SZ28VK (though they don't really do the album justice).
It's a great follow up to their Pink Floyd album 'Dub Side of the Moon', and their version of 'OK Computer', 'Radiodread'.
Si: Yes. Yes, it is true.*
*May be a lie
So would the persons in Bjorn Again Again Again Again each have 5 belly buttons?
Yours curiously,

I know somebody nearly famous too. He leads a tribute band to the "The Shadows". It's called, wait for it, "The Reflections"! They play all the Shadows old tunes. Very badly! But the local yobs think they are magic! ***King Hell!
"... the police had to arrest Tinky Winky, Superman and and Ommpa Loompa."
LOLZ!
I always wanted to go to a Bootleg Beatles concert as a Bootleg Mark Chapman...
I meant An Oompa Loompa, it was a bit early and I have toothache.
But guess when my appointment at the dentist is? Two thirty. I nearly roffled.
Oompa... ommpa... same thing in my book.
I was laughing at the mental picture, not the typo.
Does Scary really say, "I'm intrigued." at social events?
