George Saint Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm a big fan of Stewart Lee and I just got round to watching his "Content Provider" show on BBC iPlayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bdcnwq/stewart-lee-content-provider# (unfortunately you do need to be registered to view it) Anyway, right at the end of the show (1hr 52 mins onwards) there's a tune playing while he's talking. No words, just music. I tried to Shazam it but I'm assuming him speaking screws up the search. He references Deacon Blue throughout the show, so I don't know if it's one of theirs. That's the only possible clue I have really. I don't even know if it's part of a song at all. It might just be a bit of random music that doesn't go any further. If anyone is able to listen and knows what it is, I'd be most grateful. I did try a few Deacon Blue song intros on youtube, but without any luck. Thank you. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Try tweeting Tim Kirkby he was the director of all Stewart Lee's comedy vehicle and content provider. I have tried to find a clip of it so folk can see without signing up and tried to find a list of the full credits, been unsuccessful though, Lee can't be reached that dude might be on twitter though.

Ally Bongo Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Was on the end credits Fur Seelenbinder Hope that makes up for not getting the Stewart Lee/Sarcasm effort on the evolution thread Edited August 2, 2018 by Ally Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasn't totally out of the blue guess, i guess. more info http://observer.com/2016/08/this-krautrock-olympics-soundtrack-will-blow-your-mind/ Edited August 2, 2018 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Saint Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 😥 It genuinely never occurred to me to check the credits and stuff. I can't remember ever wanting to find a tune before like that, so I had no idea how to go about it. I shall endeavour to remember the whole credit checking technique in future. I apologise for wasting your time doing something that I could have done. I did also clarify that the Deacon Blue suggestion was only a chance thought. Many, many thanks for your efforts and for helping me find it. 👍 By way of an apology, I'm granting you your independence. Be free, my tartan children. You'll just need to get it verified by the British government in a referendum. Please everyone remember to tick the Yes box this time. We don’t want any more slip ups!

phart Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I was only mildly annoyed as i spent about 20 mins trying to find it, then another 10 trying to find the clip so folk didn't have to sign up to the BBC. TAMB via Ally delivers again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I heard it I was wondering where this new 70's Krautrock had been unearthed from, then it turned out to actually be new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave78 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Stewart Lee is by far the best comedian to come out of England since.... probably ever. Genius of a man. Edit: Aaaand i go to click on GS's link only to see "BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues." Lee is a genius, but the BBC are c*nts.
