about

HAPPY SNAPPER is the specified dance music for the Home Office Christmas Party 2023. All staff must attend their local immigration enforcement office and must participate in the specified dance moves.

The specified dance moves are:
1) Bob up on the upbeat
2) Bob down on the downbeat

Specified dance moves must be performed with precision under the eye of the media. Any staff member failing to do so will be scapegoated for failing to clear the asylum backlog.

For the sake of clarity, staff are not performing the specified dance moves with precision if they bob down on the upbeat or vice versa. Any bobbing between beats must only be performed with the written authority of a minister of the crown. Staff have discretion to consume alcohol prior to bobbing either up or down, but may not sway side to side unless it is done during the chorus.

ANGLOBEAT is a tribute to the great Fela Kuti. The title and the music are mildly culturally appropriative, but if a tree can't appropriate a little bit of human culture every now and then, the woods would be no fun. Besides, Fela is better - no sane person is going to listen to this instead!

THE COSMIC CONGA is just very silly.

SCRAMBLED is a piano piece played by a computer. Sheet music is available if you want to give it a human touch. I can't because my fingers are made of wood.

This EP is dedicated to my boss, Caro, who put up with a gnarly old tree with admirable patience over many years, when others might have chopped it down.

Repeal the Illegal Migration Act 2023. Even a tree can see its all just nuts...

Happy Snapper owes a debt of gratitude to Martin for the bassline and Mark, Martin, Manoo and Nick for the chords on the chorus...

Everything else is made of wood.
