Markovich/A.M.P.: Tunes

• MP3 download whole song, hi-fi

The much shortened radio edit of "Peter Tong", featuring the excellant vocals of Jerry Allen, transforms this dance track into something much more accessible.... This song documents an event on the island of Ibiza last summer. After sitting around on the beach all afternoon, playing guitars and bongoes and sampling local and imported produce, we thought we'd get a taxi into town and catch Peter Tong's set (a famous DJ, and more famous now that he has a film named after him), and try and get him to play a demo of one of our songs. He wouldn't (of course). Anyway, that's the story behind this song: it starts out on the beach, the sun going down, taxi to a club (I don't think it was Space - prob. Pacha - but that makes for a better lyric), back to the beach in the wee small hours.

Washed-up on the beach
take a pill, eat the peach
the sun sets in the east and it starts all over again

fun, fun, fun, in the sun
fun,fun in the sun

The tide is coming in
moonlight shining on tin
drives you off into Space, but will the Big Man let you in?

fun, fun, fun, in the sun
me plus one plus a bottle of rum

The DJ wouldn't play our song
the skoobies they all gone
landed back on the beach, but tell me, who is Peter Tong?

fun, fun, fun, in the sun
catch the lasers, one-by-one
