"I think, Oh just how stupid can they be? Waving to a man up in a tree." LOL I never thought I would hear Jeff Lynne sing the word "stupid" in a song! LOL

The accent is a bit odd- it's not the "yam yam" of Slade, I think it's a bit more country than that. The vowels in particular veer from West country to Geordie, although rightly for Brum, "e" is "ae" and "ee" is close to "ay", while "oo" is a bit like the Scouse/West Lancs "u",as in "book" becoming "buke". Does anyone know what part of Birmingham he was from?

sounds a bit like the madness :)

I love the idle race, thanks for putting this up
Jeff Lynnes brummy accent makes me laugh the most, he hid iit so well afterwards, even in the move. Shame they never took off, but maybe as they didnt we got finer tunes for it.

I like Jeff Lynne for his talent !( But i prefer Roy Wood,by the way?.....) I have just the album "Light at the end of the road" Greats talents.

Yepp, the beginning does sound alot like "Ob la di ob la da", and how much credit do you think Jeff Lynne got for this?? (and remember, this was released a full year before!). Once you do a little research, you will find that there are many similar examples to be found. Just listen to "Sun King" (Abbey Road - September 1969), and then compare it to "Albatross" by Fleetwood Mac (January 1969). It might change the way you look at things a bit.

Ok....now THIS tune doesn't rate is one of my faves; Sounds like more like a third-rate ripoff of Herman's Hermits-meets-"Ogden's Nut Gone Flake"-era Small Faces. If you ask me, I'm puzzled as to why Jeff expended the studio to record this at all, much less RELEASE it even as a B-side. Again, Not even interesting from a curious standpoint.

Jeff Lynne has said how much he has been influenced by the beatles and you can certainly hear it in some of these earlier songs.
