I was searching for something new to bring you today and would you believe that I found a hot little house band from the Netherlands called the Bingo Players? They have a sound that I’m not sure I can describe and I can’t say that I would listen to their music on a regular basis but I did find one that I enjoyed, called Devotion. You can hear it for yourself, if you want, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYen6mnNgvQ.
They are obviously becoming quite well known within their own country but are touring through a few other European countries this fall/early winter as well, including Belgium later this week on the 23rd, Germany on the 30th and even the UK in December. Their entire show schedule for the rest of the year, along with several of their videos, can be found on their MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/bingoplayers.
After I found this band, I tried to find out a little more about them and why they came up with the band name, but I couldn’t find any details anywhere online. However, I did come across another musical item that I think you guys will appreciate – a parody of a Beyonce hit that’s all about bingo players!
I found this at http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/beyonce35.shtml which also has many other song parodies on the site. You can read the entire lyrics on the site but I did get a kick out of one of the choruses:
Cause if ya heard it you should have put a chip on it
If ya heard it you should have put a chip on it
Don’t be mad if you miss heard and you screw up bad
If ya heard it you should have put a chip on it
Unfortunately, there wasn’t an mp3 or video so that I could actually hear the song being done so you’d have to imagine it to Beyonce’s hit, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)”.
Enjoy!
