Jellyfish

Sat here late Friday night randomly dipping into my iTunes library and surfing the web, was listening to the brilliant Spilt Milk by Jellyfish. By chance looked up Jellyfish on Wikipedia and noted that Andy Sturmer, their songwriter / multi-instrumentalist followed Jellyfish by writing / producing with Japanese pop group Puff AmiYami and wrote the Teen Titans theme tune, Ben10 theme tune amongst others....
Strangely, coming home from dinner out this evening with the family, it was the kids (4 and 6) playlist on the iPod in the car and guess what was on it...... Teen Titans theme tune, Ben10 theme tune......
Any other "revered" artists that disappear and crop up in the unlikeliest places.... ???

Already alluded to in the strand about second time around...
....but I found it quite clever how the po-faced Ralph McTell of Streets of London reinvented himself in Tickle on the Tum, thereby allowing his re-emergence as a bona fide accoustic blues man.
I twist the truth a little, as he was always a top-notch singer and guitarist in the folk/blues mould, unlucky to be "cursed" by a whopping and slightly out of character song. Dare say his bank manager at the time liked it, but I'm sure it affected his subsequent acceptance on the circuit. If someone has a clip of the GPs* playing live, playing McTells "Zimmerman blues", now would be a good time to put it up.
Grazed Pontiffs, shortlived Thompson(yes, that one!),McTell, Pegg,Mattacks combo. One almost excellent live CD from one of their only 2 shows.
Indeed Mr McTell
is one of the best examples, as I mentioned in my post.
One person I didn't talk about, though, is Clint Boon, who wrote the theme tune to kids' TV show Engey Benjy!
