Never Mind the Breeze Blocks
Never Mind the Breeze Blocks is the second album by the animated Neil Morrissey-voiced Bob the Builder character from the BBC television series of the same name. A mixture of cover versions and songs written and produced by Keith Hopwood, who scored the TV series from 2004 to 2011. It was released in the year 2008 by Universal Music, and spawned one single "Big Fish Little Fish". Many of the songs featured on the album are parodies of popular songs, such as "Working in Sunshine" is Katrina and the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine", "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" is a parody of the song with the same name performed by The Proclaimers, "Hey, Wendy" is "Hey, Baby" by DJ Ötzi and "(Is This The Way To) Sunflower Valley" is performed to the much-loved tune of Tony Christie's "(Is This The Way To) Amarillo". The album title itself is a parody of the Sex Pistols' 1977 album Never Mind The Bollocks. In Australia, the album was released under the title Appetite For Construction,[1] a parody of Guns N' Roses' 1987 album Appetite For Destruction.
