Re: Karl's Rap on Ring Road is straight-up Ali-G
I can`t see why people have a problem with "Surfboy". I think it`s fricken awesome, and it fit`s in very nice on Dubno!
As far as "Trim" and "Boy, Boy, Boy", well let`s just say that Karl`s nonsense lyrics (although very poetic and beautiful) fit better in a different a environment of sound - and with a different delivery. I know I`m going to get heat for this, but "Trim" and "Boy, Boy, Boy" sound like a hillbilly attempt at something in the vein of electronic music. Karl`s vocals on both tracks sound like something off of a Charles Manson album (Yes, Manson did record an album with the help of Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson shortly before his arrest in 1968!) Don`t get me wrong, I think most of the tracks on OWB are brilliant and a pleasure to listen to, but to me, "Boy, Boy, Boy" isn`t one of them. The instrumental sounds fine, but that`s about it.
It seems to me that with tracks like "Trim" and "Boy, Boy, Boy", Underworld are just throwing musical darts out there and seeing if any of them stick!
