Soaked Fascinator.
Lyrics:
Wedding feast buffet style
I chat and slink and have a drink
and wear a smile
Looking good looking hot
it's nice to get out now and then
show what I've got.
People to meet and people to schmooze
you have to socialise or looose
but nature calls
at times you don't choose.
No please don't ask
its a soaked fascinator
soaked fascinator
soaked fascinator
I leaned over to flush as I always do
big mistake
My fascinator came off and fell down the loo
For goodness sake.
Fish it out rinse it too
hope against hope
that it won't smell of poo.
A minute or so beneath the drier
not too long it might get too hot
and then catch fire.
These things occur one mustn't get bitter
my fascinator's still a glitter
nobody knows
but my friends on Twitter
No please don't ask
its a soaked fascinator
soaked fascinator
soaked fascinator
I first blogged this song about a month ago for #music monday on Twitter but I wasn't happy with the result because I had been 'persuaded' to use a headphones and stand alone microphone and then be 'produced' and frankly digitally fiddled about with. Which isn't as much fun as it sounds like it might be.
I got round to just recording this straight onto Garageband by singing along to the backing track in one go and with no post production.
It is so much easier to sing without headphones on and now you can hear me singing this song the way I thought it should have sounded the first time. Here for completeness sake is the first unsatisfactory version only listen to it now if you like listening to slightly out of tune singers - http://poetry4fun.blog.co.uk/2009/08/12/smooth-operator-or-what-6706436/
NB. A fascinator is a little head decoration worn instead of a hat at weddings and formal occasions.
