This video makes me very, very happy. =)
Let's go steady!
DG Bohos is the creature of two very talented prebucesent UK boys named Dylan and George. Dylan provides the bones of the band, writing lyrics and music. George provides the meat as lead singer and charismatic front man. DG Bohos isn't kid stuff; they're serious about the music, busking their craft to hone their sound. (I can't confirm this just yet, but I believe this is Dylan and George busking Knocking on Heaven's Door on the street...)
BG Bohos is (incredibly) unsigned and un-noticed on youtube. As far as I can gather, their only real web presence is their youtube video channel, which features the band's many of original tunes. Here is band info, purloined from DG Bohos' youtube.com channel:
We're two 12 year old boys from Steyning - where we started busking; than last summer we branched out to Brighton. We've played several gigs, performed at school events and private parties. Throw us in at the deep end... we're not fazed by anything!
My favorite DG Bohos tune is Land of the Trevors (LND). Here are some sample lyrics: I'm gonna tell you the truth now, And I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna give you some proof now, And tell you the reason why, Love is just another illusion, everything around me is just another confusion, Let me take you to the land of Trevors, with chocolate clouds and golden feathers, Now wouldn't that be clever?

Hot-fingered from IMDb.com:
My little buttercup has the sweetest smileThree unemployed actors accept an invitation to a Mexican village to replay their bandit fighter roles, unaware that it is the real thing.
Dear little buttercup, won't you stay awhile
Come with me where moonbeams paint the sky
And you and I might linger in the sweet by and by, oh...
Dear little buttercup, with your eyes so blue
Oh little buttercup, you' re a dream come true
You and I will settle down in a cottage built for two
Oh, dear little buttercup, I love you...
Everybody!
My little buttercup, has the sweetest smile
Dear little buttercup won't you stay awhile
You and I will settle down in a cottage built for two, oh
Dear little buttercup
Sweet little buttercup,
My little buttercup
I love you
Let's go steady!
I don't care if you feel

Are you lonesome tonight?
Is your kitchen a sight?
Is your wardrobe all run down and bare?
Is your lipstick all smeared?
Are your stockings not sheer?
Do they make your legs show all your hair?
Do the tears on your pillow roll down as you turn?
Do they short out your blanket
And make the sheets burn?
Is your heart filled with pain?
Will you come back again?
Shop at Macys and love me tonight.
I love this band! When you're done falling in love with them too, check out my other post with the live video performance of them performing "Bad Skin Day". Meow! And here's Bell X1's official Web presence...and the youtube.com video search results for them. You're welcome!
It was part of our experiment
Went you said go and I went
like a gooseberry on Noah's ark
I watched them file in two by two
And I set sail without you
And we were carried on the flood of your tears
Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Now I'm looking for dry land
As all this crying subsides
But I'm like Columbus in India
I'm a little all over the shop
Like those souvenirs from Knock
that come all the way from China
Time pulls a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
Time pulled a face when I'm next to you
Let's hope the wind changes
'Cos we'd be stuck in this place
For an age or two
I hope the wind changes
And the vacuum in space will draw me to you
I hope the wind changes
I'm not over you, can I get back under
where you kick it on the hill
your boy comes to see you
he's your Hollywood thrill
He's a Spanish fly
that bucks like a stallion
In the suits that you got him
he looks more Italian
You worry bout your tan when the weather's gettin' clammy
summer in the city and winters in Miami
You get so high on the high life pills
cruisin' and boozin' and rockin' on the horse size pills
You could even take more thrills
you could even take more spills
pills, thrills, chills and ills man, kills
and rockin' on the horse size
Butt's gettin' bigger
do you think he'll notice maybe?
that's ok, don't worry bout it baby!
Cause everybody knows he pumps you for your money
that's alright, don't worry bout it honey!
In your itsy bitsy teenie weenie riding up your butt bikini
keepin' on the heels cause you're saggin'
just a teenie bit more than the girls
he pretends he doesn't thrill, rubbin' on the lotion
and rockin' on the horse size pills
You could even take more thrills
you could even take more spills
pills, thrills, chills, and ills man, kills
And rockin' on the horse size
Sometimes you feel like Moses
that's when you're toasted
Yeah, kick it. Yo bitch
That's right, yeah
Rockin' on the horse size...

Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense
But I’m desperate to connect
And you, you can’t live like this
You have lost
(Too much love)
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It’s not enough)
You just threw away the key
(To your heart)
You don’t get burned
(’Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see…
Love ain’t fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense
But I’m desperate to connect
And you, you can’t live like this
Love ain’t safe
You won’t get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don’t wanna waste my love
Let's go steady!
Well Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz
If that ain't love then tell me what is
Well I lost my heart it didn't take no time
But that ain't all. I lost my mind in Oregon
In a booth in the corner with the lights down low
I was movin' in fast she was takin' it slow
Well I looked at him and caught him lookin' at me
I knew right then we were playin' free in Oregon
Next day we knew last night got drunk
But we loved enough for the both of us
In the morning when the night had sobered up
It was much too late for the both of us in Oregon
Well sloe gin fizz works might fast
When you drink it by the pitcher and not by the glass
Hey bartender before you close
Pour us one more drink and a pitcher to go
And a pitcher to go [repeat]
but there's someone who's torn it apart
and she's taking almost all that I've got
but if you want, I'll try to love again
baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
but baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
