Get Smart gets Ska

Remember Get Smart? If you’re of a certain age, you saw this when it was broadcast, or if you’re slightly younger, you saw it on reruns on Saturday mornings, or you might even have come across the 1990s remake, which I haven’t watched yet.

Anyway, the theme song was great. It’s instantly recognisable and the Melbourne Ska Orchestra did a great version of the Get Smart theme song with a ska beat. If you liked the original I think you’ll love this. Great video too!

Get Smart ska style.

Kylie Minogue does Monkey Man

Well, this was a nice start to the day. Yesterday morning I heard a catchy tune coming from the living room so I popped my head in to see Kylie singing with “The Wiggles” on NickJr. They covered Monkey Man by The Specials and I have to take my hat off to Miss Minogue. Wow.

The song is full of energy, it’s happy, it’s got that “get up and go” feel. My foot was tapping as I listened. Who knew Kylie Minogue could do Ska? Dare I say it, but she does a better job of it than The Specials?
