#ThePlaylist is back, bothering your ears like a tiny mosquito, but one that brings nothing but the finest vibes.

This week our theme is:

Lord Sir David Attenborough

And it has to be said, some of the suggestions have come from straight out of the left field. Which is exactly how we like it.

The tracks played this week, in case you couldn't hear me because my mic was muffled by gorillas.

This week's nationals treasure, may they last twice as long as Lord Sir David, 200 years old, dragging their frail carcasses around, praying for the end, but too beloved to be allowed to expire.

@DJDarren @sodslawyer #ThePlaylistSuggestion

Gaaah, too many good options, again! I think I like these the best, though:

πŸ‡ The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine
πŸ’” Maxine Brown - Oh No Not My Baby
β›ͺ Abyssinian Baptist Choir - Said I Wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody

That last one probably wants trimming a bit, if I'm honest. And I also wanted to give an honourable mention to a kick-ass track which is just far too long to be reasonable:

🎀 Mad Kap & Daddy Freddy - Ph*uck What Ya Heard

@daveybot Given how many suggestions I've had for the Marvin Gaye version, it would be quite funny to play the Slits cover. @sodslawyer

@DJDarren @sodslawyer I'll be honest: those were my thoughts exactly!

...But also it's a hell of a version.

@daveybot @DJDarren There's also Creedence Clearwater Revival's version which is great, but is about 11 minutes long if I recall.
@sodslawyer @daveybot @DJDarren yeah, I was gonna suggest that, but it’s long even by my standards πŸ˜‚
@WiteWulf @daveybot @DJDarren Some have high standards, others have long standards.
