Universal Remote

... watching snooker and listening to music ...

Just out of enthusiastic curiosity, what were you listening to?

Allow me to frame the context of my curiosity: I was out playing snooker in the local hall the other night when the sound of Daft Punk began to beat its way up the stairs from the ruffian, pool-playing area. And so, as much as I love Daft Punk, I could not help but frown at the stark incongruence of the situation I suddenly found myself in. So - what would DJ Noby the Harmonious have cued up?

Cripes, now you've stumped me.
On heavy rotation this week is 'Opera at the Movies', and an Otis Redding double disc
Anthology, so there's a fair chance it was one of them. Or British Sea Power.

Obviously 'Snooker Loopy' wasn't to hand.

On a serious note, Opera at the Movies would be a nice accompaniment to a spot of snooker. Anything classical or uplifting in a subtle way I'd say really.

On an absolutely hilarious, I'm so happy I asked the question note, 'Snooker Loopy' is the best thing I've heard in ages. Hadn't ever heard it before - indeed I never thought I'd hear a song about snooker! Any other songs out there directly about snooker I wonder? And some Robert Plant song doesn't count.

Black and White rag was the old Pot Black theme tune.
And Scott Joplin's The Entertainer was used for BBCs funny clips.

I fear we're straying into off topic territory here, but one more peson now knows 'Snooker loopy', so I feel it's justified.
