Do the Charleston with Buck Pal pop
Bob Marley, you know that things have considerably changed in Buck Pal. In an Apple podcast, Charles Mountbatten-Windsor, who goes by the nom de guerre of Charles III, described the musician's 'marvellous, infectious energy' after playing Marley's 1980 classic 'Could You Be Loved'.
The 'Jama-icon' isn't the only musician Mountbatten-Windsor played and praised in 'The King's Music Room'. There's Oz pop queen Kylie Minogue's 1988 rendition of the 1962 song 'Loco-Motion' — probably an influence of first wife Diana nee Spencer — as well as the 1980 Diana Ross hit, 'Upside Down', which the host rightly describes as 'absolutely impossible not to get up and dance' when played.
The attempt to present a starchy institution as a more flesh'n'blood — even pop music-loving — entity is sweet.
It's not so much to showcase Mountbatten-Windsor's taste in non-classical music — with muzak-master Michael Buble making his list, it isn't that tasteful — as much as to show that he's 'with it'. A predilection for dance music begs us to reconsider the stuffiness associated with the Buck Pal crowd.
