Dear Amber Theme Song

It's on myspace. I think it was something like www.myspace.com/peterbjornandjohn.

Funny, just today I was listening to a few advanced lessons and was actually wondered if Jenny and Connie listen to the dialog when they tell us we are going to listen to it, or if they just kind of keep on talking after they say that. So now I wonder if they even hear the dialog before doing the podcast, or if they just have the dialog printed out with "A" and "B" as the names in the dialog, thus John making his gender mistake.

Yeah, same, I heard it first on CPod, even though it was quite a hit.

I can't seem to find the News & Features theme song on itunes or myspace... anyone have the link to that?

Yeah, I saw on their Myspace page where it was the iTunes song of the year or something. Shows how much I've been paying attention. It's really quite sad, actually. For being a musician, I'm finding out more and more how much good music I don't know about.

News & Features would be AWESOME.

sparechange, Glad we have the same taste in music. TaiPan, Sad we don't have the same taste in music.

Amber: Did you pick the song? Because you may have just earned some cool points if you did.

of course i did! hehe! yay! i wonder what my cool-points-o-meter is at now! (I keep hoping I don't get sued for stealing the song tho!)

I saw these guys in concert a few months ago, the song is quite well-known now but here they're still playing small clubs in front of audiences of several hundred people tops. The whistling song was, for North American audiences, more or less "discovered" by Pitchfork magazine about a year or so ago. But it remained not more than a cult hit in North America until it was featured on an episode of Grey's Anatomy last season. Then all of a sudden in mid-September it started popping up on new TV series all over the place - Dirty Sexy Money, Gossip Girl and Big Shots to name a few - and a few articles were written about this big coincidence. I believe the official video for it is an animated version, but for fun here's a user-made video that shows all of the shows in which it has appeared: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVj9GBfI-I4 Dear Amber premiered just before these other shows aired though, so ChinesePod was definitely ahead of the curve. Maybe Dear Amber was what inspired all those copycats!

Sparechange, this is how you know you spend far too much time on Cpod. ;-) Sebire, thanks for the link. You've accidentally put the period at the end of it but if anyone else wants to use it, just remove it and the link works fine.

hope this works...

It's a good song. I was expecting to hear when I was on the show but it's added afterwards. I'll let you into another well kept secret, the dialogues are added to the lessons afterwards as well. ;)

I did the exact same thing! It was coming from my sister's room and I thought -WHAT! She's a in-the-closet Cpoddie! But alas, she just had her radio on. And I thought I had someone else to practice with. :(

Bazza- we're interested in more saucy secrets.

Sorry I can't tell you those, Jenny made me promise they had to stay a secret. :P

Pretty good ah! Hehe, LSS forever with that song!

great song, i love it!

I agree, excellent choice for a theme song, Amber. Thanks sparechange for the post! Bazza, I figured they must be doing the dialogue afterwards because I've heard definitely heard John and Jenny say "he" when it was a "she" in the dialogue a few times..

I'll have to get back to you on that one. The cool-points-o-meter is undergoing some behind-the-scenes scheduled maintenance, and will likely be bug-ridden for the next couple weeks. I hope you don't get sued either. It would be tragic if you had to use a theme by the News & Features guy.
