Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
One of my pet hates. I had this lyric for about a year with no idea what to do with it or what musical style it should have. Then the Clickers Club Comedy challenge came up so I thought it would suit, and it all sort of dropped into place. Thank you Rodz and Carlo for making me finish it!
Lyrics
I got myself a brand-new car It's only 10 years old. I'm the envy of all my neighbours Driving up and down the road. It's jam-packed full of toys And technological delights, But my favourites of them all Are the super fog lights (Rousing refrain) Oh, fog lights are fantastic, They're really red and bright, Dazzling in the daytime, Blinding in the night. They're an important safety feature - They're really just the job For warning other motorists That I'm a total knob. I always like to put them on, I can't see why that's wrong - Can't you see it might turn foggy Before very long? Oh, you won't see my brakelights, As you bear down in the rain On me slowing down to 45, In the middle lane. I've recently discovered, By leaving them on all night and day, That they actually have the power To drive mist and fog away. So be sure to thank me As you're crawling along: I'm the numpty up in fronty With my fog lights on.

Great piano and a biting lyric we all can relate to round the globe, brilliantly disrespectful and hilariously clever Steve :)

That refrain is rather rousing indeed! Mr. Bean meets Benny Hill. Awe inspiring work, Steve! You're certainly no numpty in my book. :D:D:D

Love the ragtime piano sound and fit's very well with the lyric/storyline. Another gem from start to finish!

"Turn off your lights! No fog you see" Very cool parlor tune we can all sing along after many grogs.
