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
The Maharishi’s decaying ashram at Rishikesh was a hoot and yes, his bathroom was a beautiful blue (apart from the cowpats on the floor). I loved all the giant egg meditation cells, too, and strangely enough egg-shaped water towers, too).
Lyrics
Went up to Rishikesh from Haridwar Just on a whim it didn’t seem so far We crossed the Ganges at a quarter to two I am the eggman, goo goo ga joob Went to the Ashram where the Beatles had been Although it was abandoned there was much to be seen The maharishi’s bathroom was a beautiful blue I am the eggman, goo goo ga joob The architecture owed a lot to Dali But mother nature was now running free Where once the Beatles now the monkeys chewed I am the eggman, goo goo ga joob Sat in the lotus in an egg-shaped cell As a photo opportunity it went down well Where once the yogic flyers numbered 42 I am the eggman, goo goo ga joob I believe the Mahesh Yogi now has a Dutch abode And his transcendental presence here has started to implode The good folks of Haridwar have got a new guru I am the eggman, goo goo ga joob

Loved it. Great idea and I guess going to India might do it. Nice work. And I thought I had a lot of songs nothing like you. LOL
