[ID: video edit of the 118, set to Dexys Midnight Runners' Come On Eileen. Clips are edited in time with the beat, and there are montages of the 118 - cheering each other on, in suits, laughing, eating, drinking, being drunk/ high, dancing, hugging, high-fiving/ fist-bumping, rescuing each other, being celebrated, raising a glass, and being attractive on rescues.

Day Twenty-five: A Picture of a Band With a Strange Name

30 Day Band Challenge

Dexy's Midnight Runners

The name comes from the drug Dexadrine - a brand of dextroamphetamine that was used recreationally by Northern soul fans.

ZZ Top

Gibbons noticed that lots of artists had names that included initials. He sought to combine the names of his musical heros, B.B. King and Z.Z. Hill. He decided that 'Z.Z. King' sounded too similar to B.B. King, so he changed it to Z.Z. Top, because 'B.B. is at the top'.

Toad the Wet Sprocket

The band thought it would be funny to create a name that made no sense.

Ok so after a long while, i finally decided "fuck it" and tried doing my first collage!

Yes it is a single picture of a shark cut out from a magazine, glued onto my journal and made to sing "Come On Eileen", but... uhh...

Look, it was my first time doing it so i was scared of screwing it up (also the only scraps i had were this and a catholic pamphlet i randomly picked up in the street, so the choice was pretty obvious). Either way, this aquatic fella has followed me through many a notebook, waiting for me to create the courage to use him for something. Well, that time has come. Sing those words proudly, buddy!

(Also yeah i am very aware thay my handwritting sucks dont worry about it)
