Patrick Dawes and Eugene Bazodis

Patrick Dawes and Eugene Bazodis aka Patrick and Eugene. Mr Dawes is the sometime percussionist for Groove Armada, but the pair may be most familiar to Americans through that catchy little number heard on the Volkswagen rabbit commercial entitled The Birds and The Bees. (They apparantly did this earlier as an instrumental to push Gordon's Gin). They do have albums, most notably Summerisle , a mixture of jazz, ska, world, unlikely covers, and what have you. Possibly a little twee for many, but not without merit. A cartoon video of the great hit found here. So now you know.

You don't have the Renault Megane adverts in the USA then?

Renault products are not currently sold in the US, so they decided that advertising them here would be a waste of money ;-)

I found the music reminiscent of Neil Innes' work on Vivian Stanshall's Sir Henry at Rawlinson End.
