Lez Barstow was invited to direct this promo for Malcolm McLaren in 1989, shortly after he directed the first of his Jive Bunny videos for Music Factory. I believe this was one of McLaren's best tracks which unfortunately sank without trace in the UK market.

This is now a Jive Bunny blog

All hail the new overlord of great rock 'n' roll!

Driving into town in his open-top bright red convertible, with the roof wide open.

Wave to his fans, looking effortlessly cool with those bunny ears popping out of the top of his hat!

Ready to meet his adoring fans, lined up outside the concert hall where, tonight, they're playing the best of Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers.

Even the traffic lights have changed in his honour!

That sounds good to me!

Flashback: 'Swing The Mood' - Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers

14th October 2024

Eight straight weeks at the top for 'Die With A Smile'! Crazy. This means we'll flashback thirty-five years to 1989 when the #1 song was 'Swing The Mood' by Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers, whoever the hell they are?! I've genuinely never heard of this one before, and it's kind of giving novelty song vibes. I mean, just look at this album cover:

What on earth is going on here? Is this the 80's version of Crazy Frog? Let's take a listen.

Okay, so it's basically just a medley of old songs. And it's not even that good? I'm honestly a little flabbergasted that something this derivative got to #1 (in 13 different countries!!), but then again so did Crazy Frog. Jive Bunny is not quite as annoying as Crazy Frog was, but he still kinda sucks. And is also very visually unappealing.

The people behind Jive Bunny are a bunch of DJs which makes sense considering that 'Swing The Mood' is essentially just a DJ mix. Although you'd think it would be... I dunno... slightly catchier? The songs sampled are all pretty good in their own right, but when combined into 'Swing The Mood' it's just not doing much for me.

The songs appearing in 'Swing The Mood' are mostly from the 50's and although the NZ charts don't go back that far, you can pretty safely assume that if they did, several of these songs would have been #1's, so in a way it's nice that they sort of became #1's through this. We've got 'Rock Around the Clock' and 'Shake Rattle and Roll' both by Bill Haley and His Comets; 'Tutti Frutti' by Little Richard; The Everly Brothers' 'Wake Up Little Susie'; Elvis Presley's 'Hound Dog', 'Shook Up', and 'Jailhouse Rock'; and 'At The Hop' by Danny and the Juniors.

All fun songs, but somehow combined into one by this stupid ass Jive Bunny they leave me cold.

See you next week when we'll see if anybody can manage to topple Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars from their throne at the top of the charts.
