A funny song Alyn,
You truly are an original.
This song reminds me of 'are you being served'.
The way of singing, the arrangement.
Well done.
Rob

Hey there, Alyn. Like all those before me, I'm still laughing after having listened. This is a great little number! I don't think anyone could get more original than this. You've sure got the knack when it comes to comedy! I could imagine this as a clip in The Goodies. Brilliant!!!! All the best, Noel

Ditto for the comedy Alyn and reminds me of the many times staggering home from a night in the pub, calling into the local chippy on the way home and then eating lip and tongue searing greasy chips, straight out of the newspaper as I staggered onwards. Brought back a few happy memories of several very good chip shop owners did that too.

HA HA Alyn. That was fun! What a great choice of Real tracks for the song. When I was at university in Cape Town there was a take away joint that we used to call Greasies. I cant remember if it was really called that or not. I do remember that you could smell that typical Greasies smell if you got into somebodies car the day after they had a huge bender and got the munchies on the way home.
Love the line "Oh pardon me"
Great job

Great job Seems greasy chips, and beer, are a part of a musician's formative years LOL And I forgot about that smell the next day. My guitar even smelled of chips for a while as I usually played it when I got back to the pit until the neighbours started banging the walls. Great days LOL Love the line "Oh pardon me" Well they did repeat   So glad you enjoyed Alyn

Hello Gibson,
The mix is very well done, unfortunately I'm not good enough in english to appreciate the lyrics as I should,
On the other hand, I like the orchestration, strings are wonderful

Another total original from you Alyn, love this little song and give me such a laugh, nothing like when you are starving with hunger and the nearest quickest place is the local chip shop.
You sure can write about anything.
That CD must be overloading by now if you ever decide to release it.

Regards My French is much worse than your English so I used Google and I hope it translated well. quand je suis faim après le travail mon ventre gronde je dois marcher donc je mettre sur mon manteau et la tête en bas à la ville Je suis gonnna me faire un peu de poisson et frites les noyer dans du vinaigre les étouffer dans le sel dégoulinant de graisse de vos doigts 1er morsure homme qu'ils sont chauds coulissant traverser le compteur que vous luttez pour rester sur vos pieds ils sont enveloppés dans du papier d'hier avec le papier journal désormais sur les puces les noyer dans du vinaigre les étouffer dans le sel dégoulinant de graisse de vos doigts 1er morsure homme qu'ils sont chauds tombé sur le sol juste de goût ajouté vous avez mangé tout Ne laissez pas de déchets vous botter le papier dans le jardin de quelqu'un whoops vous demande pardon ! les noyer dans du vinaigre les étouffer dans le sel dégoulinant de graisse de vos doigts 1er morsure homme qu'ils sont chauds Thanks for listening and commenting Alyn

Thanks for commenting. This song was about a greasy chip shop BUT the best chippie I have EVER visited was somewhere by the harbour in Kinsale, Co Cork. THAT was a place the band I was in,"The Roosters", always frequented when we played the Cork Blues festival many years ago. That CD must be overloading by now if you ever decide to release it. I know but I am having difficulty choosing the songs, especially when I suddenly write stuff like this LOL All the best Alyn
