It's Friday! It's three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
Friday afternoons need a little something. I think they need a Top Tune. Something to make you shuffle in your seat and, if possible, Boogie At Your Desk.
I'm not claiming that any track provided to enable At-Desk Boogying is one of the world's best or most profound pieces of music. It will, however, be a tune which makes me smile, and which has at some stage made me surreptitiously Boogie At My Desk.
Desks are not compulsory, of course. Feel free to boogie through your office, in your bedroom, round your lab, across your classroom, on the train - wherever you find yourself on a Friday afternoon.
If you like the track, go out and buy the album it belongs to - I'll try and recommend a suitable CD to purchase for any BAYD track.
The link to the mp3 will expire at some point in the future.
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Herman Dune - 1, 2, 3 Apple Tree [mp3 download link expired, YouTube link may still be active]
Today I feel we should be dancing to something appropriate to the end of civilisation - but, er, the only obvious candidate appeared on BAYD years ago. And I don't know what else is good for dancing out the end of the world.
Paradise By The Dashboard Light Part III (Praying For The End Of Time), by Meat Loaf? Maybe not. Art Will Save The World, by Luke Haines? No, that's hardly a floor-filler. If anyone has any decent suggestions for the playlist for the end of days, please trot 'em out and we can dance while the world crumbles around our ears.
But right now, I don't appear to be able to think past REM so instead, we have a nice, gentle, completely non-apocalyptic (and non-Christmassy) track from the quirkily twee Herman Dune. 1, 2, 3 Apple Tree comes from Giant, but if you're new to Herman Dune I'd recommend checking out Not On Top.
