Vile Pervert- Mad Hatter's Tea Party 16 Years, 6 Months ago
JK you are an evil man, for in Vile Pervert you have created an ear worm of a song -Mad Hatter's Tea Party. It's a cracking song, and I thought it must be something you had a hit with years ago... a song I'd not heard before...
did you write it for the film, or is it an oldie?
There are a fair few songs I like in VP,- catchy, witty-but this is a damned good song.

Thank you David - Mad Hatter is indeed a totally new song as you can hear in the lyric - my view of the judicial system.
The singer SMT/SLT has provoked huge interest - check out her version of the Stones song Have You Seen Your Mother. She's a very talented girl with a great future ahead of her. Like some of the other young acts (the Dastards came from this very board), I have great hopes for her.
Sometimes it's a good idea to distance oneself from a lyric and it made a change for others to sing words like Hatter and Shami Chakrabarti.
Plus there wouldn't have been nearly so much meeejah coverage (check out Shami) if I had put my name on them initially.

This is my favourite song in the movie. Neat arrangement, interesting lyric, catchy and a terrific vocal. SMT/SLT's work is definitely worthy of checking out.
She deserves to be big and still we get the increasingly useless Britney Spears dumped upon us all. No justice!
Re:Vile Pervert- Mad Hatter's Tea Party 16 Years, 6 Months ago
I was looking for a good female voice for Hatter and a dear Tipsheet regular (who shall remain nameless) forwarded her photo and a couple of tracks from a publisher.
So she became SMT/SLT (So Many Terrorists, So Little Time) and was immediately picked up by Record of the Day, which made it a pick. Hundreds of reactions (extremes - loved and hated) but no deal offers.
I still think she's a potential star. We remain good friends.
Not only did she do it beautifully but (producers will appreciate this) very fast and very accurate. She's a joy to produce; suggest a change and she tries it instantly.
