As this is coming out independently next week, it is best that I set the record straight from day one on this one.
This lovely old gent kept asking us to produce him, and we could not find anything we wanted to record, but on hunting through his tapes we found this very eccentric song and agreed to record it.
We originally intended this as the "B" side, as it were, but it sounds very lovely and fun with this mix.
I did inform him that I would not record this song if I felt it was a mickey take and I was assured it was not.
I do hope you all like it Tipsters, and if you do not , love it by hating it!

don't know whether it's the change in season or Kev's mix or the pleasant lunch I've just had but I like it now!

eerrrrm, that was my mix J!

(Adjusting glasses on nose, and speaking in rotund mellifulous tones)

So, let me check my little list. Ah yes. It all seems to be there. But ah! What's this I see? No tuba? Oh, and where's my little childrens' choir?

Rudolf, bring the sleigh around to the back of the studio. We're leaving.

Aaaaaahhhhhh! Aaaaaahhhh! STOP IT! STOP IT! DO IT TO JULIA-aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Got all the ingredients for a Xmas hit-ette.

I trust, Zoo, you have obtained the Box Set of my works and listened to my song (long before the Eurythmics) of 1984?

I'm sure you can see why.

don't know whether it's the change in season or Kev's mix or the pleasant lunch I've just had but I like it now!If JK thinks it's my mix it must be something special Martin!

Actually I hosted it for MK as he'd run out of sites to plonk it on.

My views are that it works well as a Christmas mix. For some reason novelty records work better at that time of year (it is a novelty song, right?
!). A good humoured video and a spell on YouTube would do no harm. I think Radio 2 would go for it as well.

The tuba was actually omitted, as it overcrowded the track, and the kids choir were actually booked, but could only do it in half term, and we were a week late on studio dates for this!

I got the Julia thing from some book

Although I have just ordered the King of Hits box-set from CD 101 - you smooth talkin' salesman you - and will listen to your 1984 song. Could only find a short clip for nowt on the interweb

Will I learn how to write hits listening to the box-set?

How many times should I listen to the whole 8 CDs back-to-back?

Should I expect a visit from the Tabloids?

Oh life, it's so full of questions.

Tubas?! Kids Choirs?!

What has this forum become!

You get 90 seconds of 1984 on WeDontDoAlbums.com, zoo, but this really does need to be heard in full. One of my more interesting tracks from long before Big Brother meant crap TV.

That 90 seconds is a strange mixture of Musical (Capital M)and strange German Rock/Pop - I think I like it.

My CDs should be with me in a few days or so. I am feeling a bit apprehensive in that I'm not quite sure what I've bought.

Or indeed why.

I'm going to have 8 CDs of Jonathan King's songs... have I slipped into some parallel universe?

I delve into the BoxSet quite often. It is the most ecclectic collection of songs in the world ever!(c)
You will be surprised how many songs on it, that you never knew JK had anything whatsoever to do with.

I got my box set when I popped into Tipsheet dungeons just before they sadly closed the office and still play it sometimes.
It's great when people pass by saying I like this song, who is it!

quote..."there is a place where Christmas happens everyday"...
errrrmmmmm tell us about it!
I`m working on it all day this week!

It certainly has oodles of the quirk factor. I'd put a fiver on it as an outsider

Just wait till you see the video Red!
