University Challenge has gone viral after a music-related question inspired viewers to remix it to make a jungle track.The clip was taken from last week’s episode of the long-running BBC 2 programme, which sees university student contestants compete head-to-head in a quiz.There was one moment in particular that stood out, however, when a music-related question inspired one viewer to challenge others watching the show to take a segment of the episode and use it as a sample in their own jungle track.“What name is given to the genre of dance music that developed in the UK in the early 1990s out of the rave scene and reggae sound system culture associated with acts such as A Guy Called Gerald and Goldie?” host Amol Rajan asked those representing the University of Aberdeen.When they guessed the answer ‘Drum and bass’, Rajan responded: “I can’t accept Drum & Bass. We need jungle, I’m afraid.”Please, please will someone sample @amolrajan saying: "I can't accept Drum & Bass.

Goldie has recalled his memories of touring with the Sex Pistols in 2008, claiming that he made £97.38 from coins that were thrown at him during one show.The producer and DJ looked back on that tour while speaking to NME about his life and music career in the latest edition of Does Rock ‘N’ Roll Kill Braincells?!.Remembering how he was often pelted with coins by angry Sex Pistols fans during his set, Goldie recalled: “I made £97.38 in Brixton, but I made a lot more in Glasgow! You can feel the metal whoosh past your head. I’m like: ‘You missed me, you twats!’.“To annoy them more, I played Public Image Ltd – because Sex Pistols fans hate the idea of John Lydon doing his other band,” he continued.“Then I played ‘Up the Junction’ by Squeeze to infuriate them more!

In today’s politically correct world, instead of throwing coins at me, they’d say angrily: ‘I’m going to wire some money via credit card at him! Bam!’”Sex Pistols will reissue their classic single ‘God Save The Queen’ to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next month.Speaking earlier this month in an interview about the monarchy, Lydon explained that ‘God Save The Queen’ was “anti-royalist, but it’s not anti-human”.“I’ve got to tell the world this.

Mars is like an old fucking gaff we used to live at.“It’s an old fucking house party.”He added: “I always get that weird thing when people start saying, ‘Oh here we go with Aliens’.
