Agreed. I also think Bird1 quite transparently trumps Scribble.

Strumpet > Bird 1; the synth stabs in Bird 1 literally ruin the song for me.

Neither of them are the go-to track from OWB. That would be Faxed Invitation, Holding The Moth, Best Mamgu Ever or even the Japanese bonus track, Loads of Birds. BB puts me to sleep and Crocodile is a bland version of a great track that debuted in 2005 (see Zurich 2005 show http://uwlive.rowla.com/gigs/view/264)

But I suppose some people love BB...After all, it was once Biro The Leggy.

You know, I've never actually heard Biro the Leggy. I always meant to ask about it because when BB appeared everyone seemed to know it already, but I'd never heard it. Where can I dig it up?

For compilations and promo, I mean. Crocodile's not a bad song but it definitely doesn't stand out in their back catalogue. Good Morning Cockerel and Best Mamgu Ever are my two favourites from OWB, but as a single, Beautiful Burnout is, to me, the obvious choice of a track to go on a compilation like this.

Also, Biro the Leggy is a much better title than Beautiful Burnout (see also Telematic Peal and Jumping the Cran)

Sorry, my mistake. The Peel tribute show, Keeping it Peel, was on Dec. 16, 2004, on Radio 1. Artists sent in tribute tracks or performed live. Biro the Leggy (as heard in the YouTube above) was Underworld's (pre-recorded) contribution.

Underworld debuted that version two days earlier on Dec. 14 on a Dirty Radio broadcast. I don't have that particular broadcast on the tracker yet, because I'm still looking for more sources.
