We are the Banzai Buddy Band! We are the Banzai Buddy Band! And we like to play our instruments. We sing our songs across the land Just for people like you and you and you and you and you and you and you. Who's that boy on the electric guitar? Come on tell us just who you are. My name is Mike and I play the guitar. I played it today for 24 hours. There's a feeling in my loins and it's out of control, I think that feeling is Rock and Roll. Who's that girl on the bass guitar? We'd all like to know who you are. My name is Laura and I like my bass. I like to twiddle the knobs, I think they're ace. I like to count the many frets. I like it better than having sex. We are the Banzai Buddy Band! And we like to play our instruments. We sing our songs across the land Just for people like you and you and you and you and you and you and you. Who's that girl? The scatting queen. Her dulcet tones are supreme. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Argh, argh, argh, argh Please! I want some money! And some chocolate! Skip skap, scabba do whee-ya. Who's that boy on the rhythm machine? Is he real, or is he a dream? My name is Milo and I keep the beat. I just use my fingers, not my hands and feet. I don't need sticks or drums or cymbals, But it's quite hard on my fingers I could do with some thimbles. We are the Banzai Buddy Band! And we like to play our instruments. We sing our songs across the land Just for people like you and you and you and you and you and you and you. And you. xxx

In The Lair Of The Dungeon-Master In ancient mystic times When magic ruled the Earth There lived the wizard Merlin And he sang to me this verse He danced a merry dance While fingering his beard And he told me of a place Where evil spirits live… The dungeons and dragons lair. Die by the sword Casting a spell Search for the keys To the gates of Hell Drinking the blood Of the virgin vampire Climbing the tower Ten thousand miles higher Offering my soul To the Gods of destruction Enslaved by the darkness Of Satan's construction Lucifer's flame Burns a hole in the sun No fear in my blood, Til the battle is won. Look out, my friend For I am the Dungeon-Master. Dungeons and dragons, The vison, the passion. Witchcraft and castles And soft little kittens Death and destruction Evil and danger A troll sings the tune to Away in a Manger High on a mountain The devil is killing Whipping and chaining His mistress and vixen Vengence is his Fighting fire with fire War, death and killing, My greatest desire. Look out, my friend For I am the Dungeon-Master. [Musical interlude] No fear in my blood, Til the battle is won. Look out, my friend For I am the Dungeon-Master.

about

Hello, good people of the world.

"It's a bit like Leo Sayer meets Yngwie Malmsteen."

We are the Banzai Buddy Band. We met at High School when we were 13. Mike was a genius, Laura was a maths geek and Milo was obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons. Laura was only really interested in her pocket calculator and had never been with a boy before and Mike had never had a girlfriend but they got together at the Christmas school disco (although they had to be very careful about Laura’s allergies). They then met Milo (The Rhythm Machine) and formed the Banzai Buddy Band! and the rest is history…
