View Full Version : Re: Caithness in the charts
Heard the JCB song on Radio 2 at 5.55pm tonight. Well done lads, and it's quite catchy.

Huh????? :confused:
I was wondering too, what does it have to do with Caithness?
The JCB song was writing by someone in caithness.
I listened to it last week and well done it was great.
Was it really, I've heard people talking about the song but did'nt realise that. Do you not know their name?

Dont know about who wrote it but found the following info about this great song:
This novelty indie/pop track, from a genre-defying Warwickshire duo, was originally released in June this year, before an internet web-site campaign, featuring clips of the very inventive animated video, kick started a word-of-mouth buzz that has resulted in this track becoming the bookies favourite to pull a real music/underdog "Gary Jules-style" victory in the race to the Christmas No.1. The song itself is a fairly simple, yet very infectious, acoustic pop song, sung from the view point of a five year old boy who spends time driving with his dad in his JCB to avoid bullies at school, that sits somewhere between James Blunt & Pam Ayers!
its not available to buy until 12/12/05

It's pretty good, love the video, very original.
It reminds me quite a bit of Counting Crows with a bit of Del Amitri thrown in...
Thanks this is the first time I have heard this, I liked it, and now can converse with my G'daughters on a level playing field :)

Quite good, could well grow on folk for Christmas
Had a look at the site but see no connection with Caithness where did folk see it was written by someone from Caithness
saw these boys being interviewed on telly the other week - they did not come from Caithness and one of the boys wrote the song himself
i think that song is great - brill video. Also i think it should be shown to school children, as this little boy is a bully victim and doesnt want to go on the school bus, so he drives around in his dad's jcb. He wants all the bullies to be eaten up by a big monster.
I would def show it to my class (if i had one!)
very nice. the vocals are wonderful, i think i will buy their album now! :)

think this is excellent ... hope rest of music to same standard...... might well buy it if it is
The guys have nothing to do with Caithness, I seen them on Richard & Judy. Listen to the accents if you want sufficent proof.
Any anyway, if they were from Caithness, do you not think we'd know about some Caithness lad's being signed onto a label before everyone's stumbled across this song, be realistic.
Gotta say though, quality song, hope it makes it to number one for chirstmas - will have more right to be there than last years gash effort and the depressing Donnie Darko song that i believe was the year before that - good song, not fit for a christmas release though!
Sorry about that Blast! I was under the impression that the lads where from up here, as I thought I'd picked up a link from Mike Mackenzie (guess who's back) from a previous page, however, it is a catchy little number though.
