In 2002 Noel lent his vocals to a track called Midfielding by Midfield General. The band who were experimenting with the idea of telling a story through music used Noel's story about the woodland animals of Great Britain going to Africa to attack the animals more commonly seen on TV and film, such as the lion. The track appears on the band's Generalisation album.
Noel: My nan used to look after me in the summer holidays and she had a cat with one eye. It used to walk into walls and tables. I used to think it was hilarious. It was a slapstick cat.
Noel: Catch the vision, smell the dream. Make toast and then put it in your anorak. Yes! I'm the only comedian ever who drinks Perrier, it's a bit sad innit?
Noel: We didn't want to be known as Barratt & Fielding, we'd just sound like a company of solicitors. So we stumbled across the Mighty Boosh. It's much more flexible and it's amusing watching people having to say the word boooosh.
