PaulWarning Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Talking of Paul Simon, Mrs Robinson made no sense till I found out it was written about Mrs Roosevelt, the President's wife, they needed a song for the Graduate, so he just changed the name without changing the lyrics, idle sod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I always liked John Cooper Clarke, not difficult of understanding or anything tho.. one of my favourites contains The man upstairs he grips my arm, says "don't I know your dad"?

Grahambythesea Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I remember reading that Bob Dylan used to write down lines he thought would make good openings to songs, but didn’t use them. So he put them altogether into one song, but I can’t remember which one! 🥴 a lot of his post protest songs are pretty nonsensical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Er? It's one o'clock and time for lunch (hum de dum, de dum) When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench I can always hear them talk There's always been Ethel "Jacob, wake up, you've got to tidy your room now" And then Mister Lewis "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds Cuckoo to you Keep them mowing, blades sharp I know what I like And I like what I know Getting better in your wardrobe Stepping one beyond your show (your show) Your show Sunday night, Mr. Farmer called, said "Listen son, you're wasting time" "There's a future for you in the fire escape trade" "Come up to town" But I remembered a voice from the past "Gambling only pays when you're winning" Had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure Keep them mowing blades sharp I know what I like And I like what I know Getting better in your wardrobe Stepping one beyond your show I know what I like And I like what I know Getting better in your wardrobe Stepping one beyond your show When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench I can always hear them talk Me, I'm just a lawnmower You can tell me by the way I walk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasman Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Going back to 1971, my Oxford group 'Ravin' Mick and Hiz Band' was breaking up as we'd all done our Finals and had gone home to sort out the rest of our lives (ha!) We agreed to record a few of our original numbers as a souvenir so I booked a one-day session at a 2-track (yes) studio near Tower Bridge (Tower Studios?) I played bass and sax and did loony vocals, my brother was on trumpet, Mike Unwin on piano, Don Hedges on drums (killed in a car crash shortly after alas), Andy Brown on guitar, with production help and keys from Dave Jarrett (Quiet Sun progger). Having only two tracks meant a lot of bouncing down - the track named 'The Saxophone Snork' that's challenging for first prize in idiotic words in the link below was er, 'composed' by me and was done in one backing band take, bounced onto track one, then sax and my vocals dropped in onto track 2, also in one take. Be kind if you can re the quality of the sound - this MP3 was re-recorded from an acetate disk master 50 years after the disk was cut. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ghi4xv1pvf0nxs/Rmick_Saxophone_Snork.mp3?dl=0 The words: Chorus 1: 'Come, down to my little cabin in the woods Said my old Grandfather to me, When I was just ninety-four...' Chorus 2: 'Come, and I'll show you the goods, So I rolled off my six-jointed knee, And took off the floor!' I'm still rather pleased with my sax solo in the middle - it's been a downward spiral for 50 years ever since! How nice to be 21 with everything still in front of you... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
