Satirical musical parodies and original comedy songs from the United Kingdom of Whenever - as heard on www.comedy365.co.uk
Bio / Background
Dogs Must Be Carried is a comedy music collective started by Richard Cray in 1998, largely to put the fun back into music - but also because the telly was crap, money was scarce and he didn't have a girlfriend, and thus had a considerable amount of spare time on his hands.
The collective records original comedy songs, pastiches of certain artists and direct parodies of songs, and has even been known to try its hand at the occasional mutant cover version.
Initially, recordings were made for the amusement of friends. However, in early 2003, DMBC successfully corrupted their target demographic when their track United Kingdom of Whenever received airplay on Christian O'Connell's XFM breakfast show, Steve Lamacq’s shows on BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6Music and the legendary Dr. Demento show in the US.
In the summer of 2005, DMBC became the "house band" of Comedy 365, Britain’s leading independent comedy podcast.
↓ more ↓As a result, this debut CD, containing digitally remastered versions of 20 of DMBC’s most requested and least music attorney-baiting songs, has been released to cash in before Ricky Gervais becomes the new Charles Foster Kane and the bottom drops out of the market completely.
The recordings on this CD were made using a low-fi ethic of no budget, hardly any instruments and an eight-track cassette Portastudio, although both editing and mastering were done digitally.
Features parodies of Bob Dylan, Pulp, Roxy Music, Van Morrison, The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, T. Rex and...er, The Archies, plus many more tracks as heard on Comedy 365.
Running time: 70’08”.
