This is the BFC song. Listen to the lyrics and you will understand why.

Mr. Fish,
I enjoy your company and your wit, so much so that I'd look you up if I found myself in your patch.
.....but, there is no way that a Jewish minstrel from New Jersey could muster up enough stones
to sing the BFC theme song.

yes, yes, I know....he's got some good songs but he just doesn't have the Wings of Death and the laughing skull.

The most suitable theme for the BFC is always The Happy Flowers.

And from their monumental album "Making The Bunny Pay" is Mom, I Gave The Cat Some Acid.

I'm pretty sure Bruce is a left footer. He's a mix of Dutch, Irish and Italian. I would also guess (but I don't know) that he has cojones like a pair of stainless coconuts.

A train filled with saints, sinners, whores and gamblers. All looking for a better place. It just said BFC to me.

Mr Harvest, I also enjoy your no-nonsense approach to posting. Should you make it to Korea it would be an honour to show you around. I'm afraid mostly all we have is cheap booze and smoking hot women. Bring some Marmite (Marmite is worth just a little more than gold among UK expats) and I'll book you into a Love Hotel or two. Like Ronseal, they do just what they say on the can ^^

I'll check through my Robert Zimmerman and Leonard Cohen catalogues for some more possible BFC songs ^^

Kurt, I listened to these. Hmm, I guess if we all liked the same thing the world would be a boring place...

Should I find myself washed up on a deserted island with just your Ipod, please God, let there be a revolver with a single round in it too ^^

Really serious now.

Ivory Coast by Savage Republic from around 1983.

Its a pity too because the only versions of the song on youtube (not a very popular band) are live and poorly recorded or there is one where it looks like a dude filmed his album cover while it played in the background.

But it is all instrumental, and those instruments are bass, drum and one of those carribean tin drums.
