Yeah, I have a Sir Prancelot LP.
The version that BOC have used can be found on the "Those Pesky Kids" CD. This version is by the Picadilly Players. BOC have used the original tune and layered on some extra synths and the "hairs on my chest grow" sample.
If you are a member of the Yahoo BOC groups you can find the mp3 in the files section

I know, but it still sounds like the opening of Camberwick Green. I think the Picadilly Players snuck it in there.BunnyRabbit wrote:Sorry but I think you're wrong about that. That section is in the version BOC use.aorta wrote:the middle section (the bell part) is from Camberwick Green

Whoops! Well, then I'm sorry, you're 100% correct. I was thinking of the music box not the roller guy before.aorta wrote:I know, but it still sounds like the opening of Camberwick Green.

It's wendy miller!
I didnt recognise this at first but I watched these clips and I actually said out loud "Oh shit, that's what it is!" at the windmill scene.
Not really. There's a show called Sir Prancelot. The Picadilly Players recorded a version of the theme song and put the Camberwick Green opening in the middle. BOC took the Picadilly song, put synths in it and added the vocal part used in Sixtyniner (which originally comes from some movie that I can't remmeber the title of) during the Camberwick Green part.Infinite E wrote:Wait... I've not listened to any of these, but am I right in saying that Sir Prancelot is just a collage of samples?

Of course Windy/Wendy Miller. The link was so obvious to me I never mentioned it before. Now with the Sir P link to the Camberwick Films it becomes more certain. Now, could Wendy Miller actaully be called Windy Miller and it's just a mistake? I couldn't find a scan of the AFOT cover to check.
The Camberwick films (Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green) have been on and off for years but I don't think they had to be on around the time of the Old Tunes to be used particularly. They made a strong impression on the genaration that saw them and would have been a natural choice for BOC when thinking about their nostalgic vibe.
