Saw a Wheatus video this morning, and it was..US college band, fair enough.
But I noticed something, and it was in the "Teenage Dirtbag" video as well.
Some gurning bloke leaping around and shaking a tambourine and playing little bongos. No instruments, he just appeared to be ther jumping around in the back of the videos.
Happy Mondays had Bez, a cadaverous bloke that danced like he was being peppered with machine-gun fire and had maracas.
The Prodigy had Leroy, a lanky chap that danced about in the background and pointed a lot at things.
Why? Why do some bands have these people that don't play any instruments but are "one of band", when they clearly just shuffle about and play un-miked things and point at the audience?

Ben was meant to be a bassist, but he had other ideas. We just generally took the mickey out of him and his lack of musical ability. Then we went to this studio and recorded some stuff for this useless bloke and we were like "Whoa, Ben can really play". Then he went. Then we cried. Then he came back - with a saxaphone. Then we cried.
Smash it with your hand or face.
Liam Gallagher can't quite manage that though, he hangs it round his neck whilst he grunts his lyrics

I can do the pointing, but how do you actually *play* a tambourine?
Can you play a tambourine and point at things?
Goatboy, can I be in your band?

We had someone like that. His name was Ben.
hur hur

They're just mates of the band. The gibbons that say "Can I be in your band" even though they can't play an instrument. The band just hand them a tamborine, or some marracas to shut them up!
Don't forget, the Prodigy also had Keith for a while - that makes half of their band useless.
