I was auditioning for a dancing Centipede but a talanted hopefull turned up
who can dance 100 times better.
O.K you caught me,I couldnt get a centipede

It was very hard to film this fast little thing close up!
The millipede didnt even sprain an ankle lol & was promptly released after filming :-)

  • Much obliged! Been a fan of the great man since my teens through my father's recommendation, and have never looked back. Recently went to the tribute in Eastwood Park Theatre and had a ball. Although I have 2 CDs and the book, I was delighted to hear wee ditties such as Toni Capaldi and Granda He Fell off the Verandah, which, like this, I was entirely ignorant of. The man represented a generosity that we seem to be dissuaged from nowadays. Thanks a bunch for this tubesnake!

  • This was my dad and hearing this version of the song (which I'm sure I've never heard before) has just made my day! I'd completely forgotten the origins of the song and laughed out loud when I remembered. Thank you! From Eleanor McGinn.

  • Hey, 17th January is my birthday! I was born in 1981, exactly 53 years later!
