Sweet Blimpin' Suite

Great Moments in Donkey Kong Universe Audio

To celebrate The Vine Audio Programme's James Bond episode, I transformed the show's existing opening fanfare into Monty Norman's famous theme tune.  

Built upon Jeremy Thorne's version of the Donkey Kong Country 2 fanfare (originally composed David Wise).  Created strictly for casual, non-profit purposes.

"Deposit. John Deposit." (Modified introduction for a James Bond tribute episode.)

Background music by Alastair Craig to the 2012 radio drama "Trial of the Time-Crosser".

Trial of the Time-Crosser (Why-The-Hell-Not Noir Version)

A 2008 episode of The Rubber Chicken Podcast demanded a detective monologue over The B-52s' "Rock Lobster".  This, for better or worse, is the grim result.

I like to think I've come a long way since then, but honestly, I still find it a blast to listen to today.

Rock Mobster (B-52s Cover)

As much as I wince at the vocal recording quality from prehistoric 2008, I have admittedly yet to hear a creepier multiverse-aware animal-stuffing anthem.  And I don't say that lightly.

We are taxidermists
From a parallel universe
All of our creations
Have beards and eyepatches

We stuff dead animals
In a tangential strand of time
Mounting them for display
Under a purple sky

When a stray Spanish bullet killed the great great great great great
Grandmother of Winston Churchill’s mother’s nursemaid
Human history was diverted down a path
More accommodating of our strange specialist trade

Now we harness the power of Tesla Coils
And tools derived from our steam-based technology
To extract the innards of animal corpses
And preseve the beauty of their natural biology

Behold! The five toed velociraptor!
More sprightly and agile than your common-variety velociraptor!
To your left, a collector’s item: Fluffy, the favourite White House poodle in Robert Kennedy’s third term.
Behind you – BEHIND YOU – the pirhana-moose.
The famous European genetic experiment commissioned by the Cyborg Emperor Napoleon.
And down that unlit corridor?
Oh, there lie the relics of the Lizard War.

We don’t talk about that.

Join us brothers, let us rise as one
And spread the good word to our ignorant breathren
And create a better world as we stuff their skin
And preserve their smiles in a perfect lifeless grin

THE LIZARDS!  THE LIZARDS!  THE HORRIBLE LIZARDS!
