8. What is the Absolutely Fabulous song? (British comedy)
>From the episode guide:
The theme tune is entitled "This Wheel's on Fire", and is sung by
Julie Driscoll & Adrian Edmondson. "This Wheel's on Fire" is
written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko, and is available on Dylan's
"The Basement Tapes" and The Band's "Music from Big Pink".
A single entitled "Absolutely Fabulous" was released by the Pet Shop Boys
in 1994 in aid of Comic Relief; it features samples of Edina and Patsy over
a techno background. Released in the UK:
Pet Shop Boys: "Absolutely Fabulous" (Cat.no. CDR 6382)
1. Absolutely Fabulous (7" Mix)
2. Absolutely Fabulous (Our Tribe Tongue-in-cheek Mix)
3. Absolutely Dubulous
4. Absolutely Fabulous (Dull Soulless Dance Music Mix)
Non-UK fans may be able to find it as an import; the catalogue number of
the Dutch pressing is 7243-8-81535-2-2. There's also a version on the Pet
Shop Boys remix album "Disco 2" (7243-8-30852-2-4), although it's remixed
and contains less AbFab dialogue than the single or video versions.
