I find it amazing that in the 21st Century people are lauded for something that in the 20th Century would have ended up with them only recording on budget labels like Pickwick or Hallmark!!

Almost as good as 'Achy Breaky Song' by Wierd Al Yankovic!!!

TBH I prefer the Quo version, it has a bit of edge to it!

Yes, she was told the origins of the song, and actually admitted she knew it was an old song, but that it should no longer be sung as it was sexist! A bit like those who claim "Baby It's Cold Outside" is about rape and date rape drugs because of the line 'Say what's in this drink'!!! History Time C: Jackie DeShannon insisted she should have recieved a writing credit too, as she claimed she was present during the writing, but both Sonny and Jack dispute her version of the song's origin.

Not if you say it backwards, which is the point of the file I posted and the explanation I gave in my previous post. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp? It was a party piece of Tim Rice's, being able to sing the whole song backwards.

Hi there, There are many English versions of the actual 'Doggie in the Window' song, there is even a version about a dog lacerated with a pane of falling glass called,"How much is that window in the doggie", based on a cartoon written by the quadriplegic cartoonist John Callahan. A pane of glass falls from a building and slices into a man's seeing-eye dog. A child observer asks the inverted question!!. The point of the version that BJ mentioned, and that I posted, it the fact that all the lines are actually backwards, instead of: "How much is that doggie in the window, The one with the waggly tail"; you have; "Window the in doggie that is much how, Tail waggly the with one the", etc. Or in French: "Vitrine la dans chien ce pour combien Blanc et Jaune chien p'tit joli ce"!!

Just for you BJ SHW-00220 - Rover - Window The In Doggie (That Is Much How)

Don't get me started on that mentality, I had one of my middle-aged singers almost attacked and certainly verbally assaulted for having the the temerity to sing 'Needles And Pins' by the Searchers!! He was accused of being a "white, middle-aged, sexist misogynist", by some 19-24ish female, (I won't use the term lady, she certainly was not one with what came out of her mouth!). Luckily the singer was supported not only by myself but also by the venue owner who 'politely' informed her her custom was no longer welcomed in the venue. (In fact i think she told her to go outside with all the other snowflakes before she had a meltdown.... It wasn't even winter!)

No, we never got round to that one, although it had been suggested... When I say we did backwards lyrics I mean the lyrics were Printed on screen backwards, completely, and wiped backwards too. We also inverted screens so they appeared upside down, and similarly wiped from bottom line to to top! We also did things like 'My Boy's Lollipop', 'Brown Nose Girl', 'Can You Feel The Horse?' and other over the line parodies!

That's OK BJ. As I explained to someone a while ago, Showtime began as my attempt at a 'fake brand' joke between myself and several other KJ's, where we played around with different ideas, spoof tracks, (including some with upside down or backwards lyrics). The one rule we had at the time was that the tracks had to not be commercially available at that point... Many of the original tracks we turned out, surprisingly, appeared on commercial sites soon after we created them and started using them in our own shows... go figure! When I had a HD crash about 9 years ago, sadly I lost many of the tracks because I had not kept the original construction files (lyric data, backing tracks etc.) and to this day there are about 40 that I can't even remember what the tracks were! I lost interest in the brand at that point and only restarted using it a couple of years ago for the odd track or two. When I joined the forum, I realised that I could help others again by putting it to use and have now got back into creating tracks that people can't find elsewhere. The files that I do still have, and all the new constructions are now in my MEGA share in case you haven't managed to locate all the ones that I still have!

Perhaps they're not ON EARTH!!! Anyway, if anyone is interested it is here: SHW-00219 - Doctor Who - The Goblin Song

No problem, moving on to my next commission, the 'Goblin Song' from the Christmas day edition of Doctor Who!!!

UPDATE File has been edited and updated. Still named as SHW-00217a - Uriah Heep - Come Away Melinda (WBGV)

SHW-00218 - Bryan Ferry - This Is Tomorrow

LOL, I could say he is lucky to get any version! OK, when I have time I will see what I can do to edit it down, but it won't be in the next few days....
