While school snack killjoy Jamie Oliver is harrassing us to try Blumenthalesque combinations as we wander round the supermarket, the Brakes seem to have applied the same theory to cooking up a single. Ring A Ding Ding takes the Big Train 'Chairman Mao sings Virginia Plain' sketch and mixes in liberal amounts of Yummy Yummy Yummy (I've Got Love in My Tummy) and a dash of perfect indie rock guitar chug. Topped off with an abrupt ending, that means it never gets close to outstaying its welcome, it's little short of daft genius.
Forget the CD version, even though you do get the enthusiastic rendition of country standard bicker-fest Jackson, featuring Leila Moss out of the Duke Spirit, and a Camper van Beethoven cover. The vinyl contains If I Should Die Tonight, that I promise you gets closer to capturing the gauche songwriting genius of Will Oldham than the thousand or so studious acoustic guitar pickers who slave daily over the task ever will. Like I said, genius.
