Two Little Boys

 Written shortly into the 1900s, this song was made famous by one time highest paid entertainer in the world Harry Lauder. He was earning over $1000 a night for his performances before World War One. 

 Hartlepool United and Shamrock Rovers football fans also sing this song at matches. A version was sung in the movie 'Trainspotting', and Billy Connolly and Kenny Rodgers have also recorded versions. 

 Splodgenessabounds reached the UK charts in 1980 with this song, and several other acts have also interpreted the song, written by Theodore F. Morse with lyrics by Edward Madden. 

 Another version was performed by Australian Rolf Harris, and most recently he re-recorded this number with Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir.

Circus Batman + Steptoe = Hawaiian Suitcase

It's a new jazz incident from Van Credenza. 

A remedy for villains and a carnival for all in the colony. 

Fusion for the confused. 

Crunchy soul for those living in the strange factory.

A cheerful false question for everyone.

Buffalo Bill Floyd

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

While two of Van Credenza's members languish in a Turkish jail awaiting trial, the remainder of the band have turned to disc spinning.

Buffalo Bill Floyd is an example of their work at present, a Pink Floyd back track voiced by Malcolm McLaren and BIll Withers, the first time these three acts have worked together.

Mein Kaempfert

Miloslav Ladislav Geisler developed the ‘knack bass’ sound while working with Bert Kaempfert, James Last and Freddy Quinn. Although born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, he had been drafted into the German Air Force late during WW2, and while in a Danish POW camp, met Bert Kaempfert who had been in the German Navy.

They developed a musical friendship which would be key to providing the laid-back, relaxed Kaempfert musical style.

And thus the Nazis contributed positively, if unwittingly, to the present day easy-listening genre still popular with aged but enthusiastic zealots the world over.

Not Genetically Programmed

Coarse racist whisky drinking haggis and deep fried Mars bars eating bagpipe playing pale skinned ginger haired mean and dour kilt wearing woad painted genetically programmed Scots.

Van Credenza utilise basic instruments, bass, guitar and drums on this tune, plus a wind guitar, an unusual experimental virtual instrument first tested in Scotland: it is a thermo-acoustically controlled harmonic type generator.

Little Sister

Here's a bit of rock and roll written by Doc Pomus, lyricist, and Mort Shuman, songwriter. Elvis Presley released this song as a double A-side along with "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame".

Van Credenza now interpret this number which deals with a young man who is baffled by women.

Flying Machine

"It has repeatedly been enquired why the visitors from Mars did not take wing without delay after their coming. They most certainly did use an airborne device for numerous days, but only for short voyages of a dozen or so of miles, in order to explore and cast their coal black residue."

Theme from the Monster Cult Mystery

The Monster Cult Mystery was a planned series based on a serpent-like Mayan god named Itzamna, or 'I', which is called upon to modern-day Chicago by a mysterious cult, this way back in 1973. 

Roosting within the top of the Willis Tower (at the time Sears Tower), this awesome fiend begins drizzling blood -- from the bodies of window washers, building workers and rooftop sunbathers alike -- onto the streets of Chicago, with devastating consequences. 

The pilot received highly negative reviews when it was shown via private cinema release thus was binned but through leaked tapes has gained a cult following over the years.
