My own experience is that people have been making music more too. Music allows people to cry if they need to, which is important. People listen to lyrics a lot these days and are in tune to the emotional effects. Music enables you to acknowledge the other side of your existence, not just the pure functional being. A lot of people have been very sad over Covid, for many different reasons. It enables you to wear your heart on your sleeve. Instead I had a tiny role in Baba’s anti-Covid rap ‘Stay Home’ on Youtube.ĭo you think music has played a different role during the pandemic? We had hoped to demo it at the Bristol Festival of Science, but Covid put paid to that. Last year I worked with New York Science Rapper, Baba Brinkman, on a rap about epilepsy surgery for kids. Many of our kids bring in keyboards when they’re in hospital, and last year Isaac, one of our epilepsy patients, wrote a song ‘It’s a Hospital Christmas’ which was lovely. Harmonisation generates a massive endorphin surge, a sense of union that’s almost supernatural.

We’re always singing on the wards too - if you crack out a guitar and start strumming Ed Sheeran's ‘Castle on a Hill’, you’ll have 30 people join you.Īt Christmas we sing a lot of carols because everyone knows the harmonies. We currently have a Russian trainee so play a lot of Russian Big Band stuff. I love hearing stuff from overseas - last year was Calypso and Soca because we had two trainees from the Caribbean. But we have a pretty flat hierarchy about who gets to request what. Usually I have power of veto as the surgeon in charge and there are a few ground rules. I like things that calm me down and still enable us to communicate as a team. It’s nice to have something going on in the background and it smoothes your mind out when you’re operating in stressful situations. I think you’ve lost a lot if music becomes just unconnected sounds,ĭo you play music in the operating theatres?Ībsolutely. I think the area has been overlooked a bit in terms of housing a ‘vital function’, and I’ve always tempered my operations to avoid damaging that connection if at all possible. In epilepsy surgery we often have to do resections of the temporal lobe, which is an important part of the brain for understanding and appreciating music. In that sense, music relates directly to me because it’s always been part of my life.
CHAKA DEMUS AND PLIERS WITNESS STAND TV
Not a bad tune, especially since it might have been inspired by some ropey TV whodunnit with Angela Lansbury.One of the first things kids do when they start to move around is they hum, make noises, clap their hands, start to dance. It's about some girl called Maxine who bubble-bubble-ribbit-bubble-wiggle-and-wriggle. Tom Doyle from Smash Hits gave the song three out of five, saying, "Chaka and his pal go for some proper ragga with this dancehall rocker like the make 'em in ole Kingston town. The song was sampled by Pitbull in the song " El Taxi", by French Montana in " Freaks" and by Omarion in " Post to Be", among others. The videos cost $50,000 and $2,500 respectively to produce. Two music videos were made, one with Dancehall Queen Carlene Smith, and one without. The music to the song is based on the Maytals' 1966 song "Bam Bam", while the lyrics discuss abortion (as revealed in the third verse). It was first released as a single in 1992 and again in late 1993, reaching number 27 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1994. " Murder She Wrote" is a song by Chaka Demus & Pliers, from their 1993 album Tease Me. John Taylor, Everton Bonner, Lloyd "Gitsy" Willis, Sly DunbarĬhaka Demus & Pliers UK singles chronology
