Thank for doing this one, John - I almost did it a few weeks back when the Season was Up/Down/High/Low... but ran out of time, and then family issues got in the way of doing videos again...
I remember the whole "Oh, Timothy was a Burro/Donkey/Something Else" furor that was (and keeps) going on.... Holmes just smiles, and closes his mouth.
Maybe Timothy just went out for a Pina Colada, and escaped?
Another fine journey into the Wayback Machine. Well done John! Who wants a leg? I bet Joe does!
As I said elsewhere John, this isn’t a song I’d ever heard before today, and I can’t find any reference to it ever having been released here in the U.K. I’ve been reading about it though, and it’s story is certainly interesting. The theory is that the band couldn’t get a record company interested in them so had to promote their music themselves. They deliberately made this song controversial in order to at least obtain publicity. As it reached number 13 in the US charts, and number 9 in Canada, it obviously had the desired affect! lol
Great job though mate, as always.
I never heard this song before....its creepy as hell. You did a great job playing and singing it. I think playing such a dark song on the chipper and pleasant sounding uke, makes it even more creepy....which is a neat effect.
Thanks, v30! It's probably the darkest song I've ever tried, even more than Gollum's Song!
Just checked out your Gollum's song on youtube. It was awesome. Great vid of Gollum playing in background and you morphing at the end was a nice touch.
