I Am The Voice Of Let's Get Lyrical: Part 1

This is the full three and a half minute parody of "Physical", which was used in abridged form by BBC Local Radio WM's BreakfastShow in Birmingham. It was the jingle for their daily competition "Let's Get Lyrical!"

The original version is at https://www.signal11.org.uk/files/pub/lgl/LetsGetLyrical_DuaLipaBacking.mp3

This version uses an alternative backing which stemmed from noticing that the whole song was very much constructed on a loop. The sort of thing Ed Sheeran (many songs!) or KT Tunstall ("Black Horse And Cherry Tree") would perform live with a digital looper pedal. What would that sound like? Could I ... Do A Looper?

Confused? I don't blame you. Listen to the three part story -- "I Am The Voice Of ..." at https://soundcloud.com/lets-get-lyrical-615375053/sets/i-am-the-voice-of-lets-get

Lyrics, aka "Only the words ..."

[WM Original Intro]

Verse:
Competition time is upon us!
They've created clues that are comical
Don't you agree? Don't you agree?

There's no prize, so you won't end up rich
Just have fun by playing a part in it
Don't you agree? Don't you agree?

Who needs to be at rest
when you got a song to guess?

Weekdays, with Rakeem Omar
You! Listening at work, home, maybe in your car?
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get lyrical!

No tune!
Only the words!
(A) little competition for those up with birds
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get lyrical!

[LH breath fx x 2]

Local callers keep on phoning in
Taking their wrong answers on the chin [RO buzz fx]
Don't you agree? Don't you agree?

I don't wanna have to second guess ...
So let's be first time right
Don't get it wrong ...

Who needs the longer clue
if this song is known to you?

[LH Oooop fx]

Rakeem, and Lou Hancock too!
Brace yourself people, 'coz they're playing the clue!
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get lyrical!

No Googles! That is the rule!
There's no point in cheating
so please don't try to fool!
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get lyrical!

Sending guesses on The Twitter? Come on!
Send in a Whatsapp, could be quicker, come on!
Maybe keep on guessing
Let's get lyrical!
(again)

Weekdays, with Rakeem Omar
You! Listening at work, home, maybe in your car?
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get lyrical!

No tune!
Only the words!
(A) little competition for those up with birds
So come on, come on, come on
Let's get lyrical!

Let's get lyrical! Lyrical!
Let's get lyrical! Come on!
L-L-L-Lyrical!

Let's Get Lyrical (Do-A-Looper Backing)

This is the sad version, titled "Rak-qui-eem for Let's Get Lyrical" used on the last day of Let's Get Lyrical, Friday 3rd May 2024!

Friday 1st September 2023

I wrote a full parody of Dua Lipa's "Physical", that I submitted to BBC Local Radio WM's "Rakeem Omar At Breakfast" show.

It was used in abridged form for the next eight months as the jingle for their daily competition "Let's Get Lyrical!"

... and here's the second day of announcing that the competition was coming back on the Monday!

You are hearing: Rakeem Omar and Louise Hancock ... and interview with myself!

I wrote a full parody of Dua Lipa's "Physical", that I submitted to BBC Local Radio WM's "Rakeem Omar At Breakfast" show.

It was used in abridged form for the next eight months as the jingle for their daily competition "Let's Get Lyrical!"

Here's how *I* found out that they were going to use it ... no warning, live on air, while eating my breakfast. Choking hazard!

You are hearing: Rakeem Omar and Louise Hancock.
