Dr. Bombay

dan_thw [Edit] [Delete] 16:16, 14 March '11

While running out of ideas for entertaining a Swedish girl in my bedroom (heh heh), I went on Spotify and gave her an education in 90s British pop music. After playing through a few hits, I ended up on Ebeneezer Goode by The Shamen, and she said "this reminds me a bit of a guy we had in Sweden, Dr. Bombay".

I knew when she uttered these words I was in for a treat. I was like "please tell me/don't tell me this is a browned up Swedish guy being incredibly racist".

Little did I know quite how ridiculous it could be. Forget Jim Davidson's Chalky White in the 70s. Forget Michael Barrymore's impression of John Barnes in the 80s.

This is Dr. Bombay in 1998. Seriously, NINETEEN NINETY EIGHT.
