Re: [newmellotrongroup] Brown Trousers.. Our tribute to Gordon Brown

2008-09-20 by kinchmusic@aol.com

Thanks Jimmy.
I really apreciate some of the comments here, they are very flattering. 
However, I feel that I should point out, in order to put the record  
straight, that the source for this tomfoolery is The Stranglers 1980's UK hit  "Golden 
Brown". I don't know how successful it was around the world. 
It hadn't dawned on me until now that there may be some in other parts of  
the world that would not have heard the original. What we have done is simply to 
 have radically changed the lyrics for our own purpose. I have been getting  
suggestions that what we should do eventually is to resing the original lyrics 
 and put it out as a proper cover version, which indeed we may look at.
Sorry there's been any misunderstanding. It wasn't intentional. I feel  
really stupid now and more than a little embarrased!
Hope it doesn't ruin the general apreciation of what we did with it.
Andy
PS. Jimmy. No plans to visit the States any time soon.
