Strictly Come Dancing
For many, many years, I have played drums; and I often recognise pieces music by their rhythms.
I was sitting watching Strictly Come Dancing this evening. The last couple were Jodie Kidd and Ian Waite. They were dancing a paso doble.
The music started, with just a drum beat; and I thought, that's sounds like Blur's Song 2. Which was absurd, this being a ballroom dancing programme and that being a raucous rock song.
But I was wrong, and right: it was Song 2, played (in the same rhythm!) by the BBC dance band.
Kidd was excellent, by the way - the dance worked really well with the song.
But it was a little surreal. And I was shocked to recognise the music from the first few beats.
