Patreon preview - new ending music
🕑 Added 2024-03-15 11:03:19 +0000 UTCHello gang. Richard here with a bit of Friday nonsense. I thought we needed some new ending music for the podcast and that, for no real reason, it should be a sort of medium-paced ballad-style song. I think it might have been because I’d heard Just Like Jesse James by Cher and/or watched that excellent Netflix documentary about the making of We Are The World. Anyway, this week I was desperately avoiding doing actual work and came up with this. Appearing soon in a podcast near you.
Have a great weekend.

Any chance on a hardcore D&B mash up? Loving it though!
Matt Stanford
At least in the old days you could leverage it into advertising for whatever that mob was before the show ;-) This is a lovely variation.
Dan W
The level of work avoidance is genuinely commendable
Lloyd K-G
Me too!
Adam
Long time listener/viewer first time Patreon supporter. You got me with the effort you put into the new song. Still love the old outro too.
Steve Hay
Amazing 😍

Flippin awesome!! Love it!!
Foxy
Definitely an album ending track. It is 70s vibes I'm sniffing (no pun, etc), with only the barest hint of cheese.
TD
With a Tesco bag full of shit in the distance
Mark
I can see a music video to accompany with a soft focus Renault Fuego driving off …
Richard Edwards
Cult vibes
John Hammond
I hope at the next live show to see a sea of lighters in the air as this plays out. In the background plays a black and white montage of Jonny trying desperately to start a barn find MK4 Zodiac with a poorly Essex 3.0.
Michael k-b
Comfortably dumb! lol love it!
Adam
Artistic!
Damian
When will we get a Smith n Sniff Live performance of all the classic tunes?
Andy Pinchock
I got some ideas on them there pies... Audi Apple, Metro Mince, Orange Opel, Skoda Strawberry ..
Peter Grogan
I think it’s fine starting off slow but needs to go all drum and base a minute in!
Nigel Hancock
It's OK but I'm afraid its not as good as your seminal work, "Basically in Nottingham"
Wayne Brook
I admire your creativity Richard, you clearly have some talent. Being honest, I don't get that warm fuzzy feeling that I would expect from closing lyrics. I get the "need" for liking, subscribing, reviewing and buying merch etc. but can we have a bit of love to go along with it (and maybe a teeny bit higher on the tempo)?! xxx
Mike K.
Definitely vibes of black & white footage of Jonny and his brother wandering through the auto junkyard on his birthday as old Rare, but Nobody Cares vehicles get plucked off the heap and cubed in the background.
Tomdo
This. 100% this.
Willy Weedon
When are you shooting the film clip for this song? I'm seeing white suit, white piano, choristers in the background?
Kevin Cochrane
The Rutles on a raised platform at some rural, overgrown and long forgotten racetrack, serenading a drifting and somewhat out-of-control Lada Samara Flyte, as two elderly men in black beanies, huddle under a tartan blanket, each with a tear in their eye.. Shot in sepia and slow motion, naturally.. On That Side of Things.... 🏁
Book of the Future
Sounds like it would be the 'secret' last song on a Lightning Seeds album
Will
Nice sentiment, but what a load of shit ! stellantis it ain’t Nnn-tss, Nnn-tss, Nnn-tss
Chris Jarrett
I'm not sure what's just happened... 🤯
George Wade
Well that's just brightened up a wet Friday afternoon. 👍🏻 Top work Richard.
Peter Heamon
Isn't that 'One Day' by SulzArt?
Rob
Needs a music video, Richard and Jonny skipping in slow motion, through rain
Ste
I think I have something in my eye
Jim Galbraith
You need to do a mock breakfast TV interview set in 2044 where you’re asked about how you were inspired to write this anthem, 20 years ago today.
Jim Galbraith
It’s for a worthy cause people.
Rick Bean
Scratch my last comment about deadlines. This is sublime.
Peter Heamon
I'm now listening to this instead of preparing a presentation for work...
Bruno Tramontano
Brilliant!
Rick Bean
Is your Evo deadline is coming up fast?
MedicalFlyer
I wonder if any of the people that pay Richard actual cash monies knows this is what he gets up to when they're chasing deadlines :-p
Rikard Ottosson
Wow, the layers! You’ve really procrastinated the heck out of this thing. I mean, you could have gone even harder with some wailing guitar really low in the mix just to make those hours disappear
Simon Houghton
Oh that brings a tear to my....
Dean Hempshall
Are you procrastinating from doing actual work again Richard? Brilliant outro 👌🏻
Gigavox!
There was a deadline due wasn't there...
Chris Armstrong
Midway when Ionny’s listing the merch, I caught a whiff of Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Or am I crazy?
Paul Fargher
It's shit.....OTSOT
Adam Kiddle
Wow, what was it that you were supposed to be doing, probably for financial recompense, that you fucked off to pull this beauty out of your grey?
Kristof Kiraly
Genius! I appreciate the classic lazy fade out.
Tigran Khamoian
Incredible work, I can already picture the overly soft-focused video for this.
Alex Fell
Superb. Right up there with the much-missed Car and Classic advert song
Daniel Brown
Wonder if there’s a section of the podcast awards devoted to epic podcast outro’s? Sweet sweet outro
Simon Smyth
How much is a session vocalist? Only Dennis is capable of both writing and singing the theme toon.
Kevin Rushton
Wonders if there are any other songs with an OTSOT? Possibly not, so for that reason, this is genius! 👍🏻
Stephanie Harrigan
A sweet sweet song
Tom Lanigan
Sublime
Stuart Maxwell
I'm getting a vision of seas of mobile phone lights, swinging in unison in front of a polygonal stage (not a pyramid, that's taken) in basically Somerset... That's some premium grade work avoidance, right there 😂 Also, as a lapsed musician myself, you are annoyingly good at this stuff, Mr Sniff 😘👏
Wilson Lin
If there’s more work to be avoided in future, do consider making a MV out of this lol
Fistenburger
It's got a John Grant vibe. But then the cast is the GMF after all !
Adam McConkey
I didn’t know we needed the answer to the question: what if Kate Bush and The Smiths made a song but here we go.
Ronnie Whelan
He'll do that all day, ya know!
Matthew Pointon
I just played this to two Japanese exchange students. “Wow, nice song”.
Tim Wood
Was about to say something similar. Clearly procrastinating.
Newark Jr
Still getting to grips with Auto-Tune Rich? 😂
Dandydandan
You Sir, are, a ‘creative’.
Stephen Hollingsworth
So moving and heartwarming... And as a drummer, I appreciate the cliche fills...
Noel Huggett
Wasted talent Richard, wasted talent, my ‘down time’ is never this fruitful!
Matt Taylor
Amazing 🥲
Rupert
Richardagainagainagainagain
Thinfourth
Richard is writing songs. This can mean only one thing.....He has some really important writing todo
MarkWilliams
An excellent piece of work avoidance (although the last 45 seconds does remind me of the piano section of Layla and where they find all the dead bodies in GoodFellas)
David Nickolls
Great work, sounds like a collaboration between The Flaming Lips and rent a ghost.
Adam
Third
Mike Follows
Got some writing deadlines to avoid?
Richard Fitton-Perkins
Looking at the attached picture, I was waiting for Sting to pipe in with, “the bitter sting of tears…” OTSOT Spoowwaat-aah!
Tom Howroyd
Ethereal. Just needs an 8 bar slow wailing guitar solo, with heavy reverb.
Adam
Or take acid and listen at 0.5. Proper fear and loathing!
Simon Whittaker
Perfect distraction from doing work
Nathan Henstock
Chemical toilets have some very powerful chemicals in them and so do the tanks we empty then into
Myron Vernis
I can hear Lionel Richie’s influence all through this. Just missing Cyndi Lauper’s solo
Richard Fitton-Perkins
Just perfect. Liking your Elton John impression, Richard!
Adam
Providing you havent been nicked for that contract killing
David Saunders
Sublime
Andrew Cannon
By the end of the year I hope you'll have an album to release (and a Christmas single). On the subject of music, have you heard the new song by Kings of Leon called Mustang? It's got a line in it that goes "There’s a Mustang in the city and it's calling me out". Wondered what Mustang and what city it could be? Vee-hicle related of course
Willy
My god, this is beautiful
HAP
The cult of Smith and Sniff anthem!
Kevin Webb
Cheesetastic Richard! Please tell me that back in the day, you got a grade A for GCSE music composition. Because if you didn’t, you were robbed sir!
Nipam Shah
Looking forward to the Stellantis mix of this
Paul Eden
Excellent
Adam
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Formula Whine
In an effort to avoid doing any actual work on a Friday too, as soon as I spotted the Patreon notification I had to down tools and have a listen.
Martin Laver
I encourage you all to listen at 1.75 times as well. Strangely entrancing, like Madonna’s song, when played, backwards encouraging devil worship. On that side of things.
AL Dickens
You really didn't want to do the work did you !! Great effort
Jem Barnard
I'd guess the work you've been avoiding is spectacularly important judging by the care and attention to detail in the layering of these tracks!
CB
Unique podcast ending Find another!
Kristis
You guys should definitely charge more for patreon. This is premium content.
Nathan Henstock
I'm a coach driver and promise to find a short sleeve shirt and waistcoat to wear it with, probably woolarding the tag axle on full lock
Paul Gaish
Reading about you avoiding work now has me listening also avoiding work. Ffs haha
Ian Phillip
40 seconds in and I found myself waving a lighter in the air, which came as a surprise as I don't own one. That's the magic of a light-to-medium weight pop ballad.
Julian Hale
Richard spends so much time making music to avoid doing actual work that he should become a professional 'artist' to rival DJ Khaled.
Adam
The Manchester music scene really missed out when you decided to go into television
Nathan Henstock
The unmistakable sound of midi. The ties should be a discreet yellow and black stripe with an S&S monogram at the bottom, on the back it should say "on the back side of things" or some sort of pun of that nature
Alec
This is grade A, top-tier nonsense!
Andy Faulkner-Clegg
Golden Buzzer moment
Richard Major
Beautiful
Gavin Wells
Looking forward for the "Sniff and Pervert Pies"
Robin Lewis
Why do I like this a bit too much 😂. Excellent work!
david marden
Deadlines? Fuck Deadlines...
Martin Johnson
Could have done with a picture of you with earphones just on one ear looking very heartfelt
Andy N
I hope Adam Buxton listens to this gold, he'd be proud!
Iain Lyons
Bring on the pies!
Gabriel Grist-Parker
Bring the back DNB remix, spat my tea out at my desk when it came on
TD
First
Adam
Excellent work avoidance Rich… I shall now skilfully avoid work by listening to it!
Jamie W
I wish my procrastination proved so fruitful…. 😂
