Herewith a bit of UK political satire.
Instagram (this is the reason for the portrait orientation)
…or if you prefer YouTube https://youtube.com/shorts/6ojpXDYH-BI?si=1YmMMQYg_bcfS4Ek
In case you have no idea what the song is about, a combination of the following search terms will probably get you there “Farage” , “Clacton by-election” , “ Count Binface”.
Words to follow later today.
This one is a bit unusual for me in that: I had the music, lyrics and recording done within about 36 hours; I don’t usually record with acoustic; no sound production; the only video editing is to trim the ends and add #SummerinClacton.
Edit: Words and song structure
Intro
V1:
I’m going to Clacton for my holidays
Looking for a clown who’d like to be an MP
To find a candidate with jokes for policy
I hope Count Binface beats him
Chorus:
All summer long in Clacton
Clacton-on-sea
All summer long in Clacton
To see Binface become an MP
V2:
I’m going to Clacton for my holidays
Searching the pubs where the clown might be
5million quid to follow, well that’s easy
I hope Count Binface beats him
Chorus
V3:
I’m going to Clacton for my holidays
Dreaming on the beach of what could be
The clown losing to a galactic bin
How joyous that would be
Chorus x 2
Outro: Repeat last line, then 1x intro chords
Nice one Simon!
