Action Hero (album)

Action Hero is the second full length album from Melbourne's Little Nobody. This album was released on IF? Records in July, 2000 in Australia.

It was accompanied shortly lately by the release of the Bare remix EP, which featured vocalist Marcella Brassett and mixes by Little Nobody, the LN Elektronische Ensemble, 8-Bit, Kandyman, Son Of Zev and Isnod. A remix by DJ Rush was not included.

Tracks of Action Hero appeared on compilations from Kiss FM Australia, Sydney label Nine09, and Volume 2 in Si Begg's infamous cut-up beat Noodles Discotheque series in 2001.

Action Hero was one of the 4 final nominees for Best Album of the Year in 3D World's 2001 Australian Dance Music Awards, of which The Avalanches were the eventual winner.

The album also featured "Cocaine Speaking", a track reputed to be Melbourne's most remixed techno track - other mixes have since arisen in Australia from Pnau, the LN Elektronische Ensemble, Digital Primate, Sameer Sengupta (aka Pocket), Kandyman, Son Of Zev, Zog, Tone Float and Cinnaman (Dirty House), as well as internationally from Jason Leach (Subhead), Si Begg, Captain Funk and Ingmar Koch (Dr. Walker/Air Liquide).

Action Hero

by: Fountains of Wayne

Sometime after sunset he is on his hands and knees
He is searching for his keys
At a small Vietnamese
Place on East 11th Street
His daughters both at once say, Can we just get going please?
As his wife begins to sneeze
And his son is throwing peas
And eating with his feet
He's an action hero
And he should be fighting crime
Leaping between the buildings
And racing against time
He's an action hero
He's an action hero
In his mind
In his mind
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero
He drops by Mount Sinai where they're running through some tests
And they've taped things to his chest
And they're all doing their best
To make him feel at ease
The doctor says it's really just an educated guess
I suggest you get some rest
Try to cut back on the stress
Cause I don't like what I see
But the action hero
Swears he feels just fine
He's got to finish saving
The world for all mankind
He's an action hero
He's an action hero
And he's racing against time
He's racing against time
There goes the action hero
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero
