Thanks everyone - some quick thanks before I get back the tearing of the hair that is competition time...
PaulyX: weirdness is my middle name. Or at least quirky. And British. Thanks for listening - at times I could hear myself sounding a bit like you in the vocals... (except not in tune or talented).
Cawproductions: happy and jolly? I never thought of that... Seems like the flow divided opinions a bit, not a bad thing I suppose. Jackpot if you immediately got the scenario from the lyrics. Thanks so much for the great comments.
Bill Saunders: thanks a million - yes, this took a bit of work, especially that "sax".
Pompeyjazz: brilliant, a vote! thanks as always!
Paulski: I guess that's right, the chorus isn't much of a rhymer (or not an end-rhymer). I hear you re the notes, though I just went with what felt simple and didn't tinker too much with that. Thanks for great comments.
PaulAds: brilliant comments, thanks. Definitely a descendant of That's Entertainment (with a bit of other mixed heritage thrown in...)
Digger: many thanks - things seemed to come together quite well in this one...
LostBoy: thanks for the great comments. Interesting re the dragged out bits - though I think someone once said "it's better to be 'new' than 'good'", so on that basis it would be unusual if everyone liked everything. Thanks for listening though!
