The Rat sounds fine on my first listen. A bit like Razorlight maybe? No points.

Random, but when I was still brass banding a few years ago we played Toccata at the end of a fun gig, and the conductor was trying to kill me so we played it at the speed of light.

Speaking of semiquavers throughout…

edit: I’m on kit. Most props go to James on xylophone - he’s in the Marines so he’s supposed to be good.

For anyone who’s interested, here are the translated lyrics to the polar bear tune. Had to go and check!

Polar bear
Polar bear
Cold ice, cold ice

Polar bear

I’d like to be a polar bear
In the cold polar region
Then I wouldn’t have to scream anymore
Everything would be so clear
I’d like to be a polar bear
In the cold polar region
Then I wouldn’t have to scream anymore
Everything would be so clear

I’d like to be a polar bear
In the cold polar region
Then I wouldn’t have to scream anymore
Everything would be so clear
Polar bears never have to cry
Polar bears never have to cry

Polar bears never have to cry, never cry
Polar bears never have to cry, never cry
Polar bears never have to cry, never cry
Polar bears never have to cry

Polar bear
Oh, polar bear
Polar bear
Oh, polar bear

Cold ice, cold ice, polar bear
Cold ice, everything white, polar bear
Cold ice, cold ice, polar bear
No fear, it’s getting cold, polar bear

The one Walkmen album I listened to all the way through (no of course I don’t remember which one it was) reminded me of a more earnest Stereophonics.

I’d say they overestimate how easy polar bears have it, tbh
