Leon attributed his trademark yodelling to an accident to his mouth, requiring stitches, that temporarily left him unable to smile. He called it "Soularfone".

  • Yeh this is one of my favorite songs too. I have the album on vinyl. Whole album is great. So since this is not interesting visually I suggest anyone to go out and buy it.

  • You're right. The video, my first attempt, was a disaster with wrongly cropped images etc. I couldn't be bothered to re post a re edited version and besides, it was always about the song.
