An odd and catchy song

Lyrically surreal this is quite an odd song - I'll leave the analysis of meaning for someone else! Built around a drumbeat inspired by "Blockbuster" by The Sweet, a UK #1 back in 1973 the song rocks along and Linnell's having a whale of time, hamming it up. Synopsis for Latecomers lacks a middle eight and Linnell mixes things up by turning the tune into a patter song, sounding not unlike Dwayne Johnson from a very similar sounding section to the Disney song, You're Welcome from Moana. The Giants at their most daft and catchy. A fun start to the new album. (Mr Tuck)

triplet

Hi. I'm working on transcribing the drum part for the song for a Drum Tab page, and I'm in a pickle.

The song is in 4/4 and songs in 4/4 have eight dashes per measure. Well, one of the hits is a triplet. How would I transcribe that in a 4/4 measure that only has eight dashes? — HotelDetectiveInTheFuture🪗 talk 🎸

Transcribe it as a regular triplet with the "3" above the beam. This tune is in swung 4/4. I might get around to doing it up in sibelius if I remember. - macdrown

Live Show Staple

Can I just say I'm so happy this has become a staple of TMBG's live rep at this point. Having this song play at the start of every show? Absolutely perfect. This is literally a great album opener and a concert opener. I think the Johns struck gold.--Robot Parade (talk) 03:33, 25 July 2024 (EDT)
