Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
This piece of nonsense is the direct result of a voice recognition failure… Staying in an old haveli in Phalodi, we were plagued by mosquitos and pigeons . We couldn’t open our windows for the mass of pigeon nests and excrement on the ledges and one pigeon even had a nest with eggs in it on a ledge at the top of the stairs. Sheila wanted to use her phone’s English/Hindi translator to let the manager know that we weren’t happy about the state of affairs. I’m not sure about the Hindi, though, as the initial English voice recognition was all over the place. After many attempts, including something about mechanical kitchens, it came up with Mufti curls and pigeon hair… another cue for a song.
Lyrics
MC 16 Mufti Curls 100(200?)bpm nonsense pop rock E A E A E If I believed all I’ve been told EA E The city streets would be paved with gold E A EA E But all I found when I got there A D A EA E Was mufti curls and pigeon hair A D A EA E …mufti curls and pigeon hair If you want to make a buck You’ve gotta go there and try your luck But just one thing you must beware That’s mufti curls and pigeon hair Lady won’t you take my hand I’ll lead you to that promised land There’s nothing there you need to fear ‘cept mufti curls and pigeon hair Lately when I go to sleep I get these dreams and dreams are deep But wake me from my one nightmare Of mufti curls and pigeon hair You think you’re big, think you’re tough You like to play a little rough But let’s see you stand up if you dare To mufti curls and pigeon hair Keep it cool keep it discrete Keep it off your balance sheet Don’t give yourself a nasty scare With mufti curls and pigeon hair There’s one for you, one for me Keep it all or give it free Live your life without a care Of mufti curls and pigeon hair
