Mr. Scruff – Shanty Town (Keep it unreal, 1999)

The lyrics are random, but there’s probably a lot of Moby Dick in there. The samples are spliced together in a fun sort of way, though, it’s all pretty laid back – it’s hard for me to pick out anything in particular, apart from the expertly-crafted chorus, which gets stuck in my head all the time – a certain measure of a song’s success in my book.

There’s a whale, there’s a whale
There’s a whale fish he cried
And the whale was in full view
There’s a whale, There’s a whale
There’s a whale fish’s bow
And the whale was in full view
Whale fish, whale fish, whale fish
And the whale was in full view
There’s a whale, there’s a whale, There’s a whale fish
And the whale was in full view
