seems like just yesterday when i first heard this back in `76 brings back my early memories of the things people like to remember when they were kids hehehe
Hello mate, I love this song. Im very serious about music so dont usually like humorous songs but this is hillarious and brilliant at the same time. if your dad really wrote this song you must be very proud. if he's still around please say thank you for the hours of pleasure this song has given me. Kind regards Dave
@scotsmaninusa no the kursaals were struggling to make lyrics and a popular song, as knowing my dad for years and knowing he did write lyrics and poems asked him to make them something, they and he had no idea it would become famous.
@mrarches My dads name is Richard Powell currently living in the UK, in the county of Essex, and we have not talked for over two years now sadly due to family issues, and this is the only song he has written the lyrics for that i know of.
funniest looking lead singer ever...
