Slavootich



Two or three years ago an ad appeared on television for Slavootich Beer with the catchiest theme song I've heard in a long time. The ad had no words with the music, except at the end when Slavootich was said, long and drawn out. Mel heard the music being played at a cafe one day and asked for the CD name. Unfortunately, on this particular blog I can't recommend the CD due to the words in it. Why oh why does good music have to be littered with four letter words? Anyway, the above link takes you to a remix of the original song by Touch N Go (again - warning! The lyrics and words to the original album are R rated - ok, ok, I know I hear this language in movies all the time now, but NOT in my music, I'm just saying!). Warning! This remix has one bad word in it, the "F" word - so if you decide to listen to it, close your ears at that point.

All the warnings aside, I am not the biggest music lover in the world. Poor Mel loves music with a passion and would listen to it 24/7, especially classical music, but he lives with me and I, on the other hand, love silence or the sound of the birds chirping or the wind in the pines and aspens, or the rumble of a good thunderstorm. So imagine my surprise when I heard that commercial and liked it a lot, and then heard the original and liked it even better, other than the words. (We compromise - sometimes there are days of music and sometimes there are days of listening to the dog bark in the private yard across the street kind of silence :):) ).

I would love to get the whole album without any words, just the music.
