At Home with John and Debbie

Did I mention we went to Mexico over Easter.

No? I must have done, surely?

Well anyway, I was on the beach looking for a specific song on my iPod, which I didn’t find. What I did find was an incredible ska version of the Third Man theme, which had been loitering on there unnoticed, nestled among the other stuff on the Trojan Ska Boxed Set.

I kept wanting to play it to people (without actually approaching them physically bearing a CD or shoving earphones in their ears), so I finally got around to bunging it on YouTube with a carelessly thrown together video.

The Third Man theme holds a weird place in my heart. I saw the film in the Electric Cinema when I worked there. That music gets into your head. Then I heard it several times in Japan, where it’s a common choice for lifts and upmarket department stores, which is pretty surreal.
