CAMP, KITSCH & RETRO (Night 117)

Great, playful tracks and all good fun. There is a huge variety of styles including the old 60s sitcoms and Westerns -style music, 70s rock, lounge-lizard jazz and of course 80s disco - not to mention some tracks we call 'classy trash' as well as great quirky, off-the-wall, danceable and very hummable tracks. Perfect for commercials, fashion and entertainment shows and lite comedy.

Listen to audio samples below:

Track# Length Track Title Description
Flash Audio
1-4 2:00 2:01 :60 :30 Tall Glass This "lounge-lizard"  3-piece jazz ensemble is accented by vibes and a smoky male vocal that will transport you into the world of "classy camp".  A slinky, jazzy cocktail served best with a humorous but sexy mood.
5-7 2:10 :60 :30 Just Crusin' The iconic easy listening 'Muzak' track.  A true elevator experience, coloured by light vibes and piano lines. Live guitars & bass.
8-10 1:30 :59 :30 Danger Boy A humourous, off-the-wall piece reminiscent of a 60's TV theme, blending surf music with a haunted house. A sense of danger and a sense of humour all wrapped up into one fun piece.
11-13 2:43 :60 :30 Slipside The cheesy organ adds to this happy-go-lucky retro synth blues piece. A fun, walking bass and moving percussion take this wacky track to new heights of kitsch.
14-16 2:51 :60 :30 Purple Suede Oh...behave! This fun "Austin Powers" style retro track incorporates warm brass pads, live flute, vibes, piano and energetic timbale fills. A track to bring out the 60's in anyone.
17-20 2:38 2:37 :60 :30 Metango Buddha Bar meets Zero 7 electro-tango with a Mediterranean twist. Campy and sexy Spanish female vocals are reminiscent of Britney Spears. Great for fashion runways and commercials
21-23 3:01 :60 :30 I Dream Of Jennie Jazzy, cute and playful,this nod to the 50's TV show features saxophone, brass, hand claps and a double-time walking bass line.
24-26 2:25 :59 :28 Retro 70's Classic-70s disco funk jam, clavinet and all!  Lots of long string lines, wah guitar riffs and funky bass licks. Influenced by KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang.
27-28 :60 :30 Pokerface Hollywood-style epic western typical of 60's and 70's TV shows. Retro but serious, it keeps a straight face over its own humour!  Live muted trumpet and flutes.
29-31 1:59 :60 :30 Tex Mex Cool combination of modern hip-hop drums and retro guitar makes for a kitschy ride into an old spaghetti western.  Lots of plunky guitars and cheesy organ add to this great quirky track. Live guitars and bass.
32-34 2:03 :60 :30 Las Vegas Foot-tappin', feel-good, high energy fun 70's-style track reminiscent of Elvis Presley's 'A Little Less Conversation'.
35-37 1:53 :60 :30 Biker's Reverie Wax up your surfboard or saddle up your horse for this one!  Reverb-drenched guitars click out lead lines in this traditional retro piece while a classic 60's surfing crowd drum beat pounds out a rhythm, announcing "Surf's Up!"
38-40 2:18 :60 :30 Restless Mission Impossible meets Shaft at Tower of Power's house! Great high-energy retro 70's-style theme.  Brass hits, funky bass lines and complex drum licks lay the groundwork for an exciting trip.  Makes you want to move!
41-43 2:43 :60 :30 Beach Bucket Think Annette Funicello on the beach in this campy homage to 60's California beach culture. Funky and fun.  Great jammin' organ and bass riffs.
44-46 2:32 :60 :30 Funky Dunky A light-hearted, wacky, fun and fast-paced romp laced with organ, vocal percussion and fun harmonies over a bluesy-pop bed. It's got a great groove. You can't help but smile!
