Ode To Deodorant

"Ode To Deodorant" 是酷玩乐队公开表演的第一首歌，该曲录制并发行于1998年，当时发行的是两张单面demo磁带，用于在当地的一个由Phil Harvey(酷玩乐队最初的经纪人)发起的音乐会上。第二张磁带上的歌曲后来继续成为酷玩乐队早期的主要曲目之一。 "Ode To Deodorant" was the first song performed by Coldplay and released as an ensemble single. It was recorded and released in 1998 as a double A-side demo cassette tape for local concert promoters by Phil Harvey, the band's original manager. The second A-side, "Brothers & Sisters" went on to become one of Coldplay's early staples. In an August 2003 article from Interview magazine, Coldplay drummer Will Champion commented that it, "had a good ending and a good bass line, but it was a crappy song." When asked whether the song is cringe-worthy, lead singer Chris Martin joked that he doesn't listen to it. In late 2005 a cassette tape of the song was sold on eBay. A fan bought the tape and "leaked" it onto the internet on 13 January 2006. As a result, the 13th January is now known in Coldplay circles as St Ode's Day.
