Whilst wandering around myspace I found a band called Johnny Deptford that have a tune called DAVINA. Great track. Anyone know if it's been used on BB??? The site was www.myspace.com/johnnydeptford i think?

Doesn't sound like anything I've heard on BB.

They usually avoid anything that would cause them to have to pay royalties to anyone. Playing the music over the airwaves either live feed or the shows on the TV means they have to pay royalties on the song.

They do sometimes play wake up music for the hamsters, but they do not broadcast that so unless one of them knew the name of the song and mentioned the name on the live feeds we would never know what was played. I dunno if it would be likely they would pick a song from a myspace page, or that the hamsters would recognize it. They might use something like that if the band was a friend of one of the hamsters but I dunno if they go trolling the internet looking for stuff or not.

On the live feeds they black them out anytime the hamsters even sing a few words of anything that is recorded by anyone.

ETA: it is possible the show inspired the band to write this song.

Cheers for that! Thought i'd heard it on BB at some point. I'll keep an ear out see if it does / did make an appearance.
