A Theme Tune For BAJR

[Austin Ainsworth]

I've been wondering what song best sums up BAJR and what song should be its theme tune, my contribution is Chumbawamba with 'Big Mouth Strikes Again'

Has anybody else got any other suggestions?

My nomination would be Willin' that timeless Little Feat classic

'I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow, I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know And I'm still Willin''

Although a close second would be Cher singing Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves (I once heard this requested on Radio Solent for 'all the archaeologists in Portsmouth'. Lord knows what motivated that particular local angst....Maybe it were someone who founds themselves '3 months later I'm a girl in trouble and I aint seen him for quite a while')

Kevin,

glad you like it, I'm searching through lots of music vids looking for appropriate stuff - the more esoteric the better.

Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention... a voice like no other! and a song, that kind of sums it up!

Dave, you're hitting all my soft spots when you post Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention vids - If I could think of a link with arseology and Matty Groves i'd post the vid.

to hell with it - Here's Fairport Convention with "Matty Groves"

To the tune of 'Baker Street' by Gerry Rafferty...

Finding your way down on Ermine Street
Mud in your hair and dead on your feet
Well, another winter day, now you'll drink the night away and forget about everything.
This ****ty weather makes you feel so cold
You've got two feet of water in your favourite hole
And it hasn't taken long to find out you were wrong when you thought digging could be fun.

You used to think that it was romantic
Hot sun, lost cities, it's so romantic
But you're freezing, you're freezing now.
Three more weeks and it'll be over
You know you'll miss it when it's all over
But it's snowing, it's snowing now.

Way down the site there's an Iron Age pit
Pump out the water and then bail it a bit
Put the kettle on for tea, go back again to see that the water is three feet deep.
The snow is falling as you set up your plan
Pick up the pencil, but you can't feel your hands
And the puddles start to freeze as you get down on your knees and the snow drifts across the street.

You know you've got to keep digging
You know the pipeline never stops digging
And it's moving, it's moving on.
Then you turn up, it's a new morning
Two feet of snow to shovel this morning
And you're digging, you're digging on.
