Page "Soundhog" Paragraph 5

Soundhog is also responsible for a notorious series of tracks released under the pseudonym of The Freelance Hairdresser ( a play on the name of Bastard Pop pioneer Freelance Hellraiser ), whose most famous creation is " Marshall's Been Snookered " which featured a vocal by rapper Eminem over a ragtime tune used by the BBC as the theme for its " Pot Black " snooker programme (" Black and White Rag " by Winifred Atwell ).

Although meant as a joke, the track attracted a lot of attention, including a glowing review in The Village Voice.

Later this theme was followed up by " Marshall's Been Done To Death " using various UK TV themes segued together as a backing track.

Both tracks received major exposure in the summer of 2002 on the Chris Moyles afternoon show on BBC Radio 1, although never credited, and led to a week-long contest in which listeners were invited to create their own tracks along the same lines.
