Title: Bed Music Question
Post by: wood and iron on May 29, 2009, 07:07:38 PM: I've started going through the archives and listening to the whole episodes since I was chastised about seeking out just the routines.

I was wondering what the bed music is that Tom uses in the shows from 2000 that are up in the archives. It's kind of hard to explain. It has like a robotic sound thing and then is just heavy guitar riffing. Is that from an actual song or is it just general bed music?

Live in studio during the show, no doubt.

That's it. Thank you very much.

I like your reaction to chastisement.

Now STOP NOT GIVING ME ALL YOUR MONEY!

I legitimately love this song without a trace of irony. Seriously. It's good.

I have it on my iTunes. I agree. It's fun.
