Genius! I haven't heard this since I was about 9. Me and my brother had a copy which we played again and again until it wore out. It was a family favourite.

I still remember all the words. In fact I've just perplexed my children by reciting it manically at them.

C d V did make an album around this time including the also similarly unhinged track "Drunken Uncle John", but the drummer ran off with the recordings. This track also has one of my favouritest ever guitar solos, rather unexpectedly.

  2. That's fun. Reminds me a bit of Queen in some ways

  3. If I may be so bold to suggest a cover of this needs to made.

    Speaking of covers is there a way one could get a legal version of the Frost* cover of "Here is the News?"

  4. The only thing surprising about this is that you haven't done a cover of it yet. I shall expect to hear this before any future gigs. =)

  5. Sounds like Brian May's guitar work. If you were about 9 it could fit
