Story behind the song
My buddy and Joe hail from the same town in England (Joe's older!) It's very much a bit of fun and we decided to leave in the false start. There's a little bit of vocal dubbing in the chorus but that's all as you can tell ;-) and we shared the lead on this one.
Lyrics
Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold Look over there (where?) There's a lady that I used to know Is she really going out with him? Is she really going to take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? Cos if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going on around here But if looks could kill There's a man there, marked down as dead And I've had my fill, hey you, take your hands from my girl. Is she really going out with him? Is she really going to take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? Cos if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going on around here

Oh nothing like a live performance. I can relate to that going to fast thing. LOL! Sounds like you were having fun. Good Cover. Yes I am aware of Oasis. I had one CD of theres with the TIme piece on it. I never got into them alot. Neil Gallagher pissed me off anyway saying something like he was better than Sir Paul. LOL! P.S. I recorded a whole bunch of Beatle covers w/Johnny Proctor it is a link off of my message board called Johnny and Tony. We met in Kansas City when he lived there and I was traveling for work. We had a blast and some funny moments like you did.

Hi, This song was a comfortable one for you two to sing. I have done a few songs with a friend or two and had alot of fun with trying to figure out what effects and all it should have and we all were laughing alot and so relaxed. So you guys blended well and the music is good Blessings my friend, Ellen or Heleana Maria

LOL...sounds like you guys had a lot of fun with this one! This one takes me back to 10th grade in high school (and the fellow classmate I had my sights set on). And I love the accents!! :)
