I didn’t know anybody else in the world was aware of Dan The Banjo Man… to crib a line from Danny Baker, doesn’t it sound exactly like what’s going on inside a two-year old’s head? So relentlessly chipper (rather like the title track from Pet Sounds) and so entirely silly, it could get Christ on the cross to forget his woes. Best thing of all, I hear no banjo!
