Q. Almighty Oracle, Will there be a behind-the-scene video for Strawberry Swing video? I think that video is brilliant and I would like to find out how they made it. Thanks!

The Oracle replies:

That was a while ago now so it's unlikely. Anchorman interviewed the directors Shynola that tells how it was made so maybe you could check that out.

Q. DEAR ORACLE, I HAVE SEEN ON YOU TUBE THE VIDEO OF POLITIK AT THE GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2005, WHAT CHRIS SAID IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG? I DON'T UNDERSTAND...THANKS SO MUCH marta

The Oracle replies:

Are you shouting at me Marta or just trying to get my attention? Chris often changes lyrics of certain songs at shows to make the crowd feel more involved and so it's always relevant to where they are and what is going on. At

during Politik he changes the lyrics to:

 

"Give me weather that does no harm

Michael Eavis and Worthy Farm

Give me mud up to my knee

The best festival in history".

 

Just to explain what those lyrics refer to... Glastonbury Festival has in recent years gained a reputation for its rain that ends with the site (Worthy Farm) becoming a mud bath and Michael Eavis is the founder of the festival which began in 1970.
