I just put this video on a comment to a blog by a great blogger on WordPress called Girl On The Contrary. And it reminded me how much I loved this when I first saw it on Jules Holland’s Yew Year’s Eve Show a couple of years ago. Dizzee’s own rap, “Stand Up Tall”, combined with Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
I'm blogging about the things I love: music, sport, culture, London, with some photos to illustrate aspects of our wonderful city. I’ve written a novel called “The Decision”, a futuristic political thriller, and first of a trilogy. I’m also the author of a book on music since the 1970s called “ I Was There - A Musical Journey” and a volume of poetry about youth, “Growin’ Up - Snapshots/ Fragments”. All available on Amazon and Kindle.
Nice one. Fits brilliantly together – and you gotta love those chords….
Will always cherish Dizzie’s part in the 2012 Opening Ceremony – and “Bonkers” seemed an approproate anthem for that night. Born in E3, too, so he felt right at home.
Hey Karma, you kept your name for once. Meant I didn’t have to approve the comment! Totally agree on the Olympics ceremony – one of THE highlights in an evening of highlights. Was so good to see people like Dizzee there and not just the usual roll call of great and good….. mmm, I think we may have had this same exchange last year! Then again, we are all into recycling these days.
Ah! You should have said you were having to approve all my comments. Sorry about that – must be a bit tedious. I’ll find a name and stick to it.
Talking of Dizzee, another great moment was his appearence on Newsnight a couple of years ago – can’t remember what they were discussing – and Paxman calling him “Mr. Rascal” throughout the interview, in his best Charterhouse accent. Sometimes Paxo does amuse,
The names are a hoot. No problem for me – you just don’t get the instant gratification of seeing your comments – needs to wait for me to approve. As for Dizzee, here’s another ace video, suggested to me by a friend on facebook. Dizzee’s “Bonkers” unplugged.
