Guys and gals,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything.

Having been to my umpteenth Chems gig tonight at the Roundhouse, I finally remembered that I really wanted to find out what the song they always play before they start is. They played it at Olympia (I think), they definitely played it at Werchter and Trafalgar, and I'm sure they played it at the Electric Proms. Sounds Johnny Cash-ish but I doubt it is. Any ideas?

Thank you so much for putting me out of my misery

It's the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Dies" covered by I don't know whom.

Violets are blue
And I will rape

Cover? I thought they just slowed it down and upped the pitch to make it sound normal.

It's a cover of tomorrow never knows by a jazz musician called junior Parker. It's available on the soundtrack to children on men. The only place I've been able to find it. It's slowed down alot and looped for the intro

Hey does anyone by any chance know the song from the DJ set on Sunday night, it was the last or second last song played before the intro, was pretty long from what i remember. Had a very 80's sound, 4/4 drums and synth bass track, almost like a pet shop boys 80's track, it was ace! cheers
