I can't get the bloody thing out of my head now.

It’s catchy, in a not-very-Doctor Who kind of way. Unless the Doctor drives a Jag, seduces switched-on babes and is played by Peter Wyngarde.

Thanks for the squid link. It's my daughter's nickname and she can identify several species from pictures alone. I like trying to trick her with photos of cuttlefish. She's never heard of the very unique big-fin squid, so i can't wait to show her that video tonight.

Ah, the classics. Of my childhood at least.

The Doctor Who theme reminded me of . . .
. . . consider also The Prisoner.
And in parallel compare the general productions of the 1965 What's New Pussycat with the 1967Casino Royale.
I suspect we have a matter of an overall shared sounds of the period . . . .

The Invisible Cow thing has to be, even by the standards of the internet, the silliest game ever.
