Heard this song on the radio at about 1:00 AM just before I jumped into bed a few days ago.

Downloaded it onto my ipod and can't really understand what the hell it's on about.

Does anyone know much about the KLF (group who did the song) or the song itself ?
 
It's mu-mu and it refers to a mythical ancient civilisation (related to Atlantis or something).

The KLF started off as the Timelords and had Doctorin' The Tardis in about 1988 or 89. Then they had 3AM Eternal, Last Train to Transcentral and Justified and Ancient (the mu-mu song) featuring Miss Tammy Winette. Haven't heard much from them recently, but their White Album is awesome.
 
The KLF's "Chill Out" CD is great for doing exactly that, and the "White Room" is also very good.

Their last release that I know of was in the late 90's, this time known as 2K with an EP titled "F*ck the Millenium".

The KLF is one of the select few techno/electronic bands I actually like. Come back!

Along with Timelords, I am pretty sure they were also called "The Jams" at one stage.

Do you know where I could find the lyrics as there is a bit of rapping in the middle and can't understand as music tracks sort of overlaps it ?
 
Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty also wrote a book The manual-How to have a number one the easy way. I think it was The Bingoboyswho followed it in making How To Dance.

KLF were great.
 
The KLF were one of my favorite groups from the late 80's early 90's.
The White Room is a great album feat. What time is love, 3am Eternal, Last train to transcentral and Justified and Ancient (radio version features Tammy Wynett on vocals and the 12" version features the original vocalist Maxine Harvey, Riccardo Da Force did the Rap).

They also, as stated later on re-released What time is love as America what time is love and **** the Millennium Y2K in '97, a track called Its grim up north under the banner The jams and I wanna 1-2-1 with you (featuring a mobile phone ring throughout) as the solid gold chartbusters.

Rumour has it they burned a million dollars in some field somewhere in the UK.

Just roll it from the top!

Before their time!

Hey Hey, oh oh bound for moo moo land

bring the beat back

the guitar riff is interesting as well, sort of don't understand where it fits into the song overall as a lot of sampluing and keyboard stuff is featured yet the riff don't understand it.

'tis true.

They put the money on offer to anyone who wanted to record some music. When no-one took them up on it, they burned the money in a field as an artistic statement.

hahahahah yeah I think we were talking about how The White Album was as rare as hen's teeth or something. Twas funny, was talking about it at work with my nerdy manager who was a youngen when it was popular, he brought the CD to work the next day and we listened to it.

What did you think of it when you listened to it ?

Read thier biogfraph and histyr on allmusic.com, very interesting yet also very mysterious as to why they behaved in the way in which they did. One extreme example of this was performing a thrash version of moo moo land at the Brit Awards much to the horror of all in attendance.

I think I got bored of it! Was weird listening 10 years down the track. Wasn't quite as cool as how I remembered it. They still play the odd KLF track on JJJ which never fails to crack me up. Its a bit of a mood turner - puts me in a good mood!

Bored because of the 80's synth sort of sound, anything like that ?

That sort of thing can get a bit boring but is still evident in some rap/ hip hop tracks actually. Listening to some Insane Clown Posse at the moment and the loops etc are similar but you can probably hear that sort of thing in any top 40 or dance track.

Actually it stands for Kopyright Liberation Front, as a lot of their earlier work had massive samples from bands like Zeppelin, Hendrix, etc.

Yes, your are right there Mr Sexiano I remember reading that in thier big bio on allmusic.com
