Hi @crystalsuzy! Thanks for this, but I never really thought that Punch & Judy might not be famous all around the world! That'll teach me, but glad you looked it up!  ;) Glas you enjoyed it too.

Thanks @mickyplankton, nice one. All the instruments are done on synth. I recorded this one just on my ipad and some of the synths are simply tweaked defaults within Garageband. On top of this I used a synth app called Synthmaster Player. I have to admit I am pretty basic on the recording and production front!

Cheers for that appreciation too @macker71165

Love it. Just funny enough and just serious enough. A little Peter Gabriel in the vocal I'd say too.
Great song, brilliantly realised. Again. Marvelous stuff.

Hi thanks Adam @adamfarr , that's very kind of you. I wish I could really sing like Peter Gabriel though. But I am quite OK with flattery too!  ;D  ;D  ;D Ta very much!

Yeah that was cool, a warped fairground ride of a song.  Clever clever observational lyrics, very well executed and grin inducing.  It is weird (and funny) how violent childrens entertainment can be, eh?  And nursery rhymes too.  I mean, take "3 Blind Mice".  They're already blind... and then they get their tails cut off!  And the "rock-a-bye-baby" falls out the tree to almost certain doom.  Horrific... no wonder we all grow up traumatised. :o
Bravo on a great track.
It's all too beautiful.

Oh, poor old Mr Punch, such an outsider in the modern world  ;D

I loved this, it's great fun from start to finish and the lyrics are great. I laughed out loud at the "I can't smack her round the head" line. Really nice production that suits the song - all very well put together. Luvvly.

Thanks for that @PaulyX. I think you are onto a whole new song topic there, ie the darkness in nursery rhymes too! I think it's all good preparation for a tough world myself, but like Mr Punch I am probably a dinosaur!  ;)

Cheers also @MartynRich, some of the best songs, books and movies are about outsiders after all, so maybe explains why Mr Punch still gets by!

Wow,

What a witty, clever and funny song. Brilliant musical setting and arrangement. Great subject and some lovely lines/rhymes. Loved the way you managed to rhyme crocodile disinfected. Original and full of wonder.
