MEET DRIMBLE WEDGE

Here's a few Dudley Moore and Peter Cook things. I know, hear me out. The first is the title song of the original version of the film Bedazzled, which starred Moore and Cook. Cook does this one stone faced, fronting the fictitious Drimble Wedge & The Vegetations. As a downer, it's a hoot. Bad hippie pop psych with the lyrics that sound like something the Monks would write. There's also a great cover of the song by Bongwater and a video of Dudley Moore performing an instrumental version with his jazz trio (him on piano, a bassist and drummer). It's great, the thing swings in a cocktail hour sort of way.

There's a another song by Moore and Cook "The L.S. Bumble Bee", a parody of the Beatles' and Beach Boys' veiled drug references. Apparently it was convincing enough that some bootleggers released it as a rare Beatles outtake.
