Reviews

Funky_Dung Mar 3, 2004
'Bike' (Sid Sings Syd) is a work of absolute demented genius - it's a dancey cover version of Pink Floyd's 1967 psychedelic pop track 'Bike' (written by Syd Barrett) only the vocals here are reconstructed entirely from Sid James samples. There's chopped-up bits from various 'Carry On...' movies and 'Hancock's Half Hour', and the track itself's a really catchy little number. One of the best cover versions ever made, for sure!
