@julianlawson Think it’s in the documentary film Touching The Void. One of the climbers gets it stuck in his head as he thinks he’s dying. Laughs at it because he HATES Boney M.

@BenCotterill I don't think I've see that. Will listen to the Mark Ronson but I think I'm thinking of the original. Well, the original Boney M as apparently that's a cover.

@BenCotterill @julianlawson Spot on. Joe Simpson refuses to die listening to Boney M in his head. Great film, better book. A proper dilemma for both him and his climbing partner Simon Yates. I was properly into climbing at the time the accident happened and it caused a lot of anguished conversations about "what would you have done?"
