Topic: Art Bell Bumper Music

[Michael Vandeven]

hmm....
i must say, you've got me stumped.  listen to the stream, and if you hear it, take note of the airdate and shoot me a message.

[TeddyKGB]

Awesome, thanks for time and effort you put into this MV.

You can tell Art had an impeccable taste in music. Rarely does it happen that I enjoy someone else's music. And as I go through the list I keep finding new songs I love.

Cheers for that.

Oops.  I am probably about to get jettisoned to Mars, I suppose.  I love 99% of Art's music, but there were (are) some when I couldn't wait to hit the volume control and wait them out.  I never even spent the time to figure out what they were.  One reminded me of jungle drums with a bunch of cannibals marching along to a loud drum beat.  Another one (it may have even been somehow enhanced) was a little ditty with "zooming" and "buzzing" around like a bunch of over-sized and vicious mosquitoes or Kamikaze bombers.

Ha ha.  Difference of opinion, huh?  I admit, I'm old fashioned and like music that is really music and not just racket.

I do not like or appreciate most of Knapp's nor Ian's offerings.  They are just "noise" in my opinion, and not really music. 

Just call me Granny Grump, eh?

i think it might be that cusco song that starts out with the pounding drums.

Yeah, I think you've got it, MV.

If not - then a few of us need to start packing.

I think you mean that Cusco song that goes “hey-ya hey-ya hey yo! / hey-ya hey-ya hey yo!”.  I love that tune.

I don't know about any buzzing, but back in the day, he would apply a phaser effect to all of the music, which would add a strange oscillating whooshing sound over everything. I don't hear the phaser anymore since he moved to the Philippines.

On the other hand, perhaps you're talking about the intense buzzing guitar noise of Spirit in the Sky!

What is the name of this song

at mikevandeven.com?  or are you hearing this on the show?

[The General]

A classic Art Bell bump.  Why did he love ABBA so much?

S.O.S. - Abba

Somebody needs to investigate this video for paranormal activity.
I shit my pants with laughter every time at :44 seconds. Every. Time.

[Michael Vandeven]

why?

[The General]

I shit my pants with laughter every time at :44 seconds. Every. Time.

why?

Seriously? You're not serious.  You just want me to break it down in my own words, right?  Ok.

The camera pans out to reveal that the dude on the left looks like he's dressed up to paint Elton John's house, wearing a puffy gold blouse under super skin tight white polyester bell-bottom overalls, and he's playing what looks like an electric broom.  Hilda and Helga move in synchronized swaying motions wearing dresses with GIANT CATS on them.  Creepy GIANT cats with sequins and goofy (to the point of disturbing) expressions.   And the piana player has his sleeves rolled up on his disco-cowboy shirt like he's dealing cards in a Kenny Rogers video.  There's so much going on here.  But in the foreground?  Flowers.  BRILLIANT.

HAHA!  well, ok then.  i guess i have seen so many abba videos that i just don't notice it.

[Chupacabra]

Thanks For the Link. Montezuma has always been my Fav, Artbells Peru Music changed the feel of the show in a good way.

[EvB]

GIANT CATS on them.  Creepy GIANT cats with sequins and goofy (to the   point of disturbing) expressions.

Look again; the blue one is a dog. >grin<

i am guessing its the huge bouquet of flowers that sends you over the edge, eh?  i like how their skin tone and the color of their teeth are basically the same.  ahhhh the 70's

This is awesome. I've only heard some of these songs in 48kbps shoutcast streams. They sound great here. Thanks for this.

update:  this was previously working ONLY for those using internet explorer.  what a travesty.  i think i have resolved this issue.  please let me know if you experience any problems.

Cant believe I just noticed this, i just spent the last 30 mins reminiscing over classic Art, and that deep voice saying "Wanna take a ride...? East Of the rockies..."

Thank you so much for this

[M. Knight]

Art had a thing for Las Ketchup.  Ummm, I did too.

Ketchup song original and full

[Stevenqbosell]

I totally forogt to mention that, I don't recognize a lot of them at 1st, because the quality is fantastic. Even if it's 128Kbps, or heck even 96kbps, it's still light years clearer than the way i've been listening to them on Anomolies download links, which aren't really optimized for music...

Once again, thank you

[HAL 9000]

While I appreciate the effort, there were many songs which were not even the originals versions. I fixed as many as I could - I downloaded the set a few years back.

Here are the revised and corrected verions. Mistakes may till exist:

I uploaded these way before RS upped their upload ,imit to 500MB, so is in two files.

[EvB]

Thanks so much - they sound GREAT!

[Stevenqbosell]

Thanks so much - they sound GREAT!

Ditto with EvB, these are awesome, thank you so much... they were so popular, I had to wait a few hours to DL them, all the free slots were taken, lol.... Thank you so much again, this is one awesome community of C2C fans

wow, i thought everyone already knew about this.  glad u enjoyed it!


i haven't updated that list of songs in a few years.  i need to get back in there and do so.  a couple of them are not the correct versions, and some are missing.

[iain42]

This is my first post. I've been revisiting the old Art Bell shows and I wish he was back for good. The new hosts are terrible I can't stand them. It is good to see that at least I am not alone in that opinion.

On a road trip with my girlfriend we listened to several Art Bell shows. She really enjoyed them but now she is driving me crazy because she wants to know what a particular song is that was used as bumper music. I've searched youtube and the released cds but can not find the song. It sounds like a latin girl singing softly something like "boomba do you feel my heart beating"? Does anyone know what that song is?

Boom Boom Ba - Metisse , Dead Like Me

[iain42]

Thank you very much. I just sent it to her. 

[HAL 9000]

Bummer - I'm a little too late... here is the song you wanted (or anyone for that matter.)

Soundcloud is a pretty cool place - they give you 2 hours (has nothing to do with filesize) of music/audio time to store - you can just listen, or download too.

Mediafire is the original mp3 - save 99˘

The one you got may have DRM built-in - the one's above, of course, do not.
