Scrobbles for The Times may also include audio recordings, podcasts and satirical sketches issued by the British news organization that publishes the British daily newspapeer, The Times.
The three music groups called The Times are...
1. The Times were a British rock band of the 1980s and 1990s with Ed Ball as its prominent figure.
Ball, obsessed with 1960s Britpop, formed the band while he still was a member of the Television Personalities and recorded the first The Times album in 1980. It went unreleased until 1985 and the second album, Pop Goes Art, was released in 1982. The Times released a steady stream of albums and EPs on Ball's own Artpop! label after he left the Television Personalities: This is London (1983), I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape (1983), Hello Europe (1984), Blue Period (1985), Boys About Town (1985), Up Against It (1986) and Enjoy The Times (1986).
The Times broke up around the end of 1986 and Ball joined Joe Foster as an executive at Creation Records. It wasn't long, however, before Ball restarted The Times; this time the name was cover for a solo career with a less Carnaby Street-obsessed outlook and more of an interest in current trends. 1988's Beat Torture was standard late-'80s U.K. guitar jangle à la Creation's house band, Biff Bang Pow!, half of which serves as Ball's backing band, but 1989's ecstatically titled E for Edward dips tentatively into the acid house boom spreading over the country that summer. Ball also recorded three acid house EPs under the name the Love Corporation in the early '90s.
More Times albums followed, Et Dieu Crea la Femme (1990), Pure (1991), and Alternative Commercial Crossover (1993), Sad But True (1997) and Pirate Playlist 66 (1999) before Ball discarded that band name for good.
2. The Times were a mid-1960s mod / beat / proto-psychedelic band from Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom, fronted by Alan Taylor. The group's line-up was completed by Gordon Struthers (guitar), Ron Pickard (guitar), Kenny Crank (bass) and Barry Unsworth. Struthers had previously been in The Renegades. The group recorded and released two singles for EMI in late 1965, early 1966. Their début release was the self-penned 'Think About The Times' b/w 'Tomorrow Night'. Around the same time a private label EP by a band called The Times came out, but this was by a different band... potentially band #4 on this Wiki page.
3. The Times was an indie rock band from Malaysia.
The Bugle
The Times Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're gonna brag 'bout the Bugle Call Rag.
Thin or fat, young or old;
Shake their shoulders bold.
You're bound to fall for the bugle call;
You're gonna brag 'bout the Bugle Call Rag.
Hold me baby; Let's syncopate to that blue melody;
Just hesitate while a break they take Shh!
The Times's song "The Bugle" is a bouncy tune that encourages listeners to get up and dance to the bugle call. The lyrics paint a picture of people of all ages, shapes, and sizes coming together on the dance floor to shimmy and shake to the beat. The Bugle Call Rag is referenced several times, a staple of jazz music during the time the song was written.
The repeated refrain of "You're bound to fall for the bugle call; You're gonna brag 'bout the Bugle Call Rag" serves as a reminder that, once you hear the bugle call, you won't be able to resist the urge to get up and dance. The lyrics encourage the listener to join in and to hold their partner tight while they cut a rug.
The song's reference to syncopation - a technique where the beats in a measure are intentionally off-balance - is reflective of the jazz music of the era. The chorus encourages dancers to move to the beat while the band takes a break, creating a sense of unity that is common in swing dancing.
