It's his voice.

I prefer the Czar's version.

by Nightjar Mon Aug 17, 2020 9:16 pm

I think I'd prefer a version by the Chuckle Brothers.

I recently discovered that "Astronaut" translates as "Star sailor." Perhaps they just saw it as a fancy way to call themselves Astronaut? dunno

Or Chas 'n Dave.

Actually, that might work. happy

He's being very melodramatic. I sort of like it, even though it makes no sense for him to do it and he's not a patch on Robert Plant.

Track 6 - Jungle Fire.

He'd go on stage, quite literally squawk his face off, take heroin and then get mo' mo' p*nani.

Track 7 - Starsailor.

His tribute to the band.

Still doing the Tarzan yodel.

Are his batteries running down?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Aug 17, 2020 9:24 pm

Do they not have a charger handy?

by Nightjar Mon Aug 17, 2020 9:24 pm

It's like a Swiss yodelling version of the Ligeti bits from the 2001 soundtrack.
