More info from the KLF FAQ 1.012: Were 1300 Drums (featuring the Unjustified Ancients of M.U.) really Bill and Jimmy? Shortly after Manchester United FC won the 1995/6 English Football League and FA Cup 'double', a record was released by a group calling themselves '1300 Drums (featuring the Unjustified Ancients of M.U.)', called "Ooh Aah Cantona". The song is a 'tribute' to the Man Utd. footballer Eric Cantona, revered by some Mancunians as a deity. The song is a techno-bassy dance attempt with some sampled crowd noises and keyboard work. The group appeared on Top Of The Pops, hiding behind rubber Eric masks, and with an Eric-"look-a-like". They held up "Ooh Aah Cantona" posters, the font of which seemed familiar. These were also distributed to the crowd at a game against Nottingham Forest the same season. However, to the best knowledge of the list members, 1300 Drums has NO CONNECTION with Bill or Jimmy. Letters to the record company remain unanswered (in fact some have been returned marked "Address Unknown"), but there is no factual evidence to suggest a link. The most probable explanation is that 1300 Drums are probably fans of both Man Utd and KLF, maybe read the Manual and decided to try out the advice, and the only reason they mention the un-JAMs is because Man Utd = M.U. = Mu. -----Original Message----- From: Darren Forster [mailto:darrenforster99@ntlworld.com] Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2002 4:03 PM To: Trancentral Subject: [KLF] Ooh aah Cantona? & Brit Awards stunt... Just been playing around on the Top of the Pops website and decided to put in KLF to see what I could get in Encyclopedia Poptastica Theres two things that aren't quite straight here though... first one the Brit Awards ceremony, it's mentioned (but not as the Brit Awards), but they seem to have missed out the incedent with the motorcyclist driving in and taking the award back to Trancentral (anyone confirm did this happen?). And they put the sheep incident as only allegedly, I thought there was actual evidence that the sheep was dumped. And the second bit is about a song called "Ooh Aah Cantona", I remember this song but I didn't know it was by The KLF, can anyone confirm this? "Since that time, Drummond and Cauty have made several pseudonymous returns to the singles charts, including the 1996 tribute to footballer Eric Cantona, "Ooh! Aah! Cantona", as 1300 Drums Featuring The Unjustified Ancients Of Mu"
