Homage to /. or just a bunch of words that sound good together?

by Suw on August 2, 2004

Just heard the new Fatboy Slim single on XFM. Taken from his new album Palookaville, the single Slash Dot Dash is a short sharp kick to the teeth of a single with lyrics along the lines of 'slash dot dash dot slash dot dash dot slash dot dash dot slash dot dot com', which may either be an homage to /. or just a bunch of words that sound good together. Hard to tell.
Given one listen, I like it, but I suspect it could be a grower. That 'slash dot dash dot' mantra is the sort to get under your skin, even if you can't get your tongue round it. (It was hard enough to type, let along sing.) Can't find an mp3 to link to, so you're gonna have to find it for yourself.

It may be a homage to Dot Dash by Wire (which is just a fantastic tune using similar lyrics)

I must admit, that sounds a lot more likely. Which is faintly disappointing, really.
