Artist: Rogue Traders
Title: Voodoo Child
Favourite Lyrics:
So here it comes, the sound of drums
Here come the drums, here come the drums
Artist: Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Title: Pump it Up
Favourite Lyrics:
Down in the pleasure center, hell-bent or heaven sent
Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander
There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand
Why?: I've decided to set my iPhone on shuffle and let it do it's thing. Today, Rogue Traders popped up. I admit I had totally forgotten about this song. Dr. Who fans will remember the song as it was featured in the "The Sound of Drums" episode. Spoiler alert! It's the episode that brought back the Master and subsequently we discover that if a Time Lord is aged thoroughly, they turn into Dobby from 'Harry Potter'.
And for those who couldn't quite place what the guitar riff was, it's taken from Elvis Costello's awesome song, 'Pump It Up'. It's not a sample though. Rogue Traders rerecorded it for their version. Of course, naturally, I made sure to queue up Elvis Costello after hearing it because it's just a great song.
Upon watching the video for 'Voodoo Child', imagine my surprise to see the the face of the singer, looking an awful lot like a favourite album cover too! Seems all roads eventually lead there lately. I'm sitting here now, as we speak, reinventing a game and calling it 6 Degrees of Talk Talk.
Rogue Traders -> Elvis Costello -> Talk Talk (opened for him). 2 degrees.
