HERBIE HANCOCK – Zippit
Imagine if you will that you are a jazz musician (horrible thought I know). You’ve played with the – ahem – greats such as Miles Davies, Canonball Adderly and Quickdraw McGraw. You have even survived the prog-rock, acid jazz phases to make it out to a new hip-hop, electro audience in the 1980’s.
And what single track are you remembered for? What track will be played on the obiturary on Liquid News on the announcement of your death. A track that is played on the zip to a parka jacket.
You couldn’t make me laugh more than if your first name was Tony.
(Those famous Herbie’s in full. An annoying Volkswagen. An annoying robot from the Fantastic Four cartoon. Um, that’s it.)
