Thanks Trevor, Glad you thought it was funny, I use muvee auto producer for the video, a bit like biab I always say put in the pics and it does the rest with the minimum of editing.

Having the lyric to follow along would be good (particularly for a song like this). The only suggestion (and certainly not necessary) would be to slow it down a few bpm to let the words settle in a bit.

Got as much a chuckle from your video as I did the song.

floyd


Thanks for having a listen Floyd, all your comments taken on board, A really simple song compared to your professional arrangements, we love the old accordion too much here in Ireland. Glad it gave you a chuckle.

Nice video.

Guenter


Thanks Guenter for having a listen, I like this particular movie making software for been quick to set up and the zooming in and out of the pics which is done automatically gives a nice feeling of movement to the videos that can be made. Thanks again.

I agree with Floyd. Really a nice tune!! Wonderful feel and very natural performance. Great stuff!! Take care. Greg


Thanks Greg for having a listen and the suggestions, Still trying to get this recording lark right but it is taking some doing, will just have to stick with it. Pretty simple lyrics to this song.

If I don’t go to heaven I’ll surely go to hell.

I started dreaming, it was getting late.
I met Saint Peter at the pearly gates,
He smiled at me and he said with a grin,
Don’t even try you, you’re not getting in.
You’ve been a sinner all of your life,
Drinking and gambling and you had three wives,
I laughed at Peter and I said who cares,
If I don’t go to heaven I’ll surely go to hell.
Chorus
If I don’t go to heaven then I’ll surely go to hell,
Me and the devil will get on so well,
We’ll go out drinking in the pubs down below,
I hear every bar has a show-band show.
I’ll drink the devils whisky and I’ll taste the devils gin,
All of the vices you can count me in,
I’ll be (oh) so busy meeting up with old friends
If I don’t go to heaven then I’ll surely go to hell.
2
Peter turned a paler shade of white,
My attitude has given him a fright,
Let me see what I can do,
To save a sinner as bad as you.
Ten years in purgatory to cleanse your soul,
Take it or leave it I can do no more,
I looked at Peter and I shook my head,
Just show me the road to hell instead.
chorus x2

To be honest I wanted to add something at end where the dreamer won't be let in by the devil either, and has to come back to Peter to beg for 10 years in purgatory, but talking that part didn't work, could have done another verse I suppose but I was getting fed up with song.

No truth in rumour though that I am the devils PR man!!

Thanks a lot for all the helpful comments and ways to improve.
