Peter Cook’s Promo Spot For Tryouts For The Human Race

Yes I absolute love there, that the use of the syndrome and I think the boom is, tremendously important in today's troubled times and I think the Mael brothers which is actually what brothers should be, is Mael because it otherwise it needs some confusion, to come up here with a monster, it's um it's from a "Number One In Heaven" the album on Virgin Records, and "Tryouts For The Human Race" it's called and, I think, the thing about this record apart from the *mouth sounds* and syndrome, is of course the wonderful use of, *mouth sounds*, *mouth sounds*, I'm not saying that the record wouldn't be a monster without the *mouth sounds*, but the *mouth sounds* is absolutely vital to the political statement in [?] the lyrics, the attitude to life which is contained in this-a basically a disco beat with overtones of not the 20th century not the 19th century not the 18th century but the-of the premoral past were dinosaurs wandered about the landscape leave their milk bottles from cave to cave and there, delightful and charming way, and captured here is um, a feeling, a feeling which could only occur in a crowded room with people, dancing, neck to neck, and cheek to cheek and bowel to bowel and in this, this fever excitement and disco one, one realises that, man if he is, on this earth at all he is here for a purpose or he may be here for a porpoise and if he is here for a porpoise then he's in for a disappointment because, there is very few porpoises into discos these days but men, women, children, old age, [?] all that type of people can be seen in discos, dancing to this type of music, and this type of music can only do good, and if it doesn't do good it will do harm, if it does harm who cares, I don't care because I have a job to do, I think, interesting thing for me, is the *mouth sounds* and the *mouth sounds*. So this is me could you give me my name I wrote it on that piece of paper there, yes, oh yeah I yes well never mind I can't read that writing, this is me on behalf of [?] wonderful radio, what's a bit of paper there, oh, I see yes I've been talking to a toothbrush for the last bit of four minutes, never mind take two

[The Chorus of "The Number One Song in Heaven"]
It's number one all over heaven
It's number one all over heaven
It's number one all over heaven
The number one song all over heaven
