The chords are easy once you get the hang of the key. The intro (in S minor): S minor, Q major (x4), the bridge is Q Sm Q Sm Q S (major). The all-important chorus appears to be S P Q R#; S P Q N and on the second time round S P Q R#; S P Q R S. Of course as S can be approximated by A in regular keys, so the chorus in A is: A E F Ab; A E F C and on the second time A E F Ab; A E F G A. Hope that helps. :)
I'm glad that a song Badfinger forgot to record still saw the light of day. This is power pop at it's best. It's amazing that a song written as a joke is just as great as the music it's satirizing.
"Look around you" is on a level of it's own. I grew up with these type of shows like this so I love "Look around you" even more for that and the fact they rip on them so badly. The sound and editing is godly on the show! And, This song owns.
Another great artist of that bygone era who's career was cut tragicly by opening the Boite diabolique and playing the forbidden notes. Long live Jack Morgan.
Does capture the style of pre-video era "promotional films" perfectly. Bleached out 16mm, stop frame effects, crash zooms and use of some landmark no matter how inappropriate. Very funny!
@@MrPlannery I'm going to learn it myself... just need to dig out the vhs I had of the live version where they go straight into Reggae Man after the solo
I actually think this has a more late 60s psychadelic pop vibe. Maybe it's the subtle synths or the harmonies, but I really think that this could have been a minor hit in 1967 or 1968
Sounds like it'd either from the late 1960s or the mid to late 1990s when imitating the sound was in fashion... Kula Shaker or someone like them could have made it
@@josemaria8177that brilliant guitar solo and the punchy rhythmic piano note at the end both sound early 70s to me. But yeah there's also a late 60s vibe too.
Quoting Salon: Male mice sing ultrasonic love songs to woo mates according to a new study published Wednesday in the journal Frontiers of Behavioral Neuroscience. In fact, the mice perform long, complex strings of syllables the same way as song birds. “Those songs are really high in pitch, above 50 kilohertz, and are not audible to humans,”said Jonathan Chabout, a postdoctoral fellow at Duke University. “When we pitch them down and play back at real speed, it sounds like a bird.” Look Around You is still accurate two decades later.
This song has helped me understand my life. I understand now what it means to find that one song that drives you forward! Little Mouse...show me what to do!
Thank you whoever posted this because I have not obtained the DVD and have to watch the episodes on this crappy loaded with pop-ups website you're awesome
Someone said that “Jack Morgan” looks like a young Ringo Starr here As Ringo wrote songs about Octopuses and gardens I can quite imagine him romping through something like this in his 80s kids tv career 😂
I have a four month old called Katie and my pet name for her has always been Mouse, either KAtie Mouse, little Mouse or Mrs Mouse. Either way, always a mouse theme and this is so our song now! BLESS THIS MOUSE
In a non-shit world this would've been Number 1 for 3 months and Simon Cowell would find employment only as John McCririck's personal underpants scrubber.
I can't play this on my guitar yet as I only have knowledge of regular keys. I should call up my friend Synthesiser Patel and ask him if he can give me a hand.
This is better than anything in the charts but is a thrown away parody. They should make this a Eurovsion song. I'm surprised Peter Sz hasn't done a show based upon a 70s Eurovision Song contest maybe as a mashup of Big Time the series that lauched Sheila Easton.
4 a.m. and i cant sleep. I turn on the T.V. and Look Around You is on.. Now please write that down in your copy books. I wonder if people actually have a copy book with them when they watch this show. Anyways I hear this song and man I Love It!!! I love it so much that I had to go copy a link to this to my facebook to tell everyone how amazing it is. It's enough for me and youuuu
Haha, thanks. You're actually the first person to comment on my avatar, despite using it here and on another message board. I was starting to wonder if it's just too obscure for people to recognize. Guess not!
Of course, there is the one owned by Synthesiser Patel himself (that he keeps locked away, for fear of initiating the apocalypse), which is the only boîte diabolique synth in existence. Or so I have heard.
How come such a great song can be written in jest yet there's all the forgetable gormless garbage that gets recognised and shoved down your throat thanks to Jo Whiley!
To a little mouse I know by the sea this weekend; cheer up, don't stress, look around you my friend; you'll get there in the end; hey there Dr Mouse, chubby cheeks full of rice milk&noodles,not long now &you'll be a qualified Rodent, running here & there,from Southend to Southampton,with a group of student mice trying to study your patients & there'll be a glint in your eye as you remember being a studious mouse too & you'll be helpful&you'll listen to what they say..bye for now, Wondering Fox X
Anyone who wants this complete song as a MP3 type into google: flv to mp3 Then click the top link. Should be self explanatory from there I think. Well enjoy
Breakdown bit: F G# ("Cant you seeee, it was meant to beee") F G# A B ("A mouse and a man... ...mansion") C G D A x2 ("Exploring... ...of me and") B7 ("Youuuuu and you and youu") E Guitar solo is over the first 8 bars of the chorus chords. Repeat and fade...
