  • any song that has trumpets and violins plus the usual instruments in the arrangement gets my vote / Bravo !!

  • My dad wrote this song for the kursaals, ask if you want to know more.

  • 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

  • @danpow2003 so Birch/Douglas/Shuttleworth didn't write it then?

  • @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.

  • @danpow2003 whos your dad,did he write any more songs we know ?

  • @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.
