Hovering Sombrero - by TMBG - on PIANO

Great song from the Mink Car album in 2001, which was allegedly written for 'Flood' 11 years earlier but abandoned. Early versions of the song included verses in Spanish of which I attempt but one. I am sorry for my terribly pronunciation. Here in England we tend to learn French as a second language, not Spanish.

The spanish made me laugh so much.

@ardvarkd I don't even know Spanish, but that has not stopped either of the Johns from trying so I thought I would give it a go. An early demo of Hovering Somberero exists with the second verse in Spanish sung by Linnell.

Can you do Bird of the Bee of the Moth?

[astralbee]

Yeah, I already did it! Search on my channel.

'Hovering Sombrero' was allegedly written for Flood?? That's amazing. Where did you come across this information?

Splendid cover, btw.

[astralbee]

There was a press release for 'Mink Car' written by the Johns that states this. You should be able to find it on the TMBG Wiki site.

You should do the song "We Live in a Dump". It's one of the more obscure TMBG, songs, and lacks good covers.

This song makes me very happy and very sad. So glad you covered it; you did a great job!

[weaverflytyer]

have you done " a self called knowhere"? that was kinda kool.

[arianamama]

Awesome. So happy you did the my favorite version.

[suchducks]

Love that you included the spanish verse. I don't know the language either but I sing that to impress all my friends. Yay.
