Joe Findlay to release fundraising Album

A brilliant idea!

Joe and some of the guys from the shop have come up with the idea of putting together an Album of cover versions that have been given a Butcher's slant. All proceeds are to go to the Stop The Superstore Fund. The project hopes to utilise any skills that are available locally to keep costs to a minimum.

Joe had a sample of the first track playing in the shop this morning and I have to tell you, Ive not been able to get tune out of my head ever since. Its a remake of the classic 70's Ram Jam song; Black Betty with the word Pudding replacing Betty. The chorus goes:

Whoa, Black Pudding (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Pudding (Bam-ba-Lam)

Its infuriatingly catchy. I defy you to avoid humming it yourself after just reading this, never mind listening to it.

He is also working on "Come on Buy Lean" the classic Dexy's tune and he is hoping to get former Porty musician Phil Cunningham to guest on violin. (Phil is better known for his Accordion work but is also an accomplished violinist)

Joe says he is looking for suggestions for similar classics that can be slightly altered to be butcher oriented. If you have any ideas just post and we can pass them along.

Why don't the men in Findlays do a Full Monty in Porty on behalf of CATS. If they do, maybe the male members of the CATS steering group would join them. Now there would be some fun girls!

'We'll meat again?' ' You're My Favourite Mis-steak', 'Two Pints of Chicken Stock and a Packet of Lentils', 'How Much is that Doggy in the Window' (oh, hang on - urban myth again), erm 'The Grand Old Duke of Pork'? Have you had enough?

And of course we look fwd to seeing them on Top of the Chops. I'm going to lock this topic, it's driving me bonkers!

Human League - I claim my non-prize, forget the title though. And your last signature lyric of course was from the Undertones 'My Perfect Cousin'.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 05 Jul 2004, 23:06

Being boiled was the title. Now the really difficult question: where does the phrase "$5 no-prize" come from?

These are suitably offal.

'Liver come back to me'
'Anyone who had a heart'
'I can't stand the brain'.
'I want to see the bright lights tonight.'

Or anything by Abba-toir

I like your style.

One day there needs to be a "classic threads" sub-forum. This is one of them!

"Walking on Sirloin" will be the first number Joe and the Lads play at their debut gig. I understand that this wil be at the Offal Lounge in George Street.

I really do think this is getting out of hand. Joe is now considering butchering a Beatles Tune in an attempt to get a Xmas number 1. Its Ticket To Ride but of course he is altering it to "Turkey to Roast".

I think I'm gonna be sad,
I think it's today, yeah.
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away.

She's got a turkey to roast
She's got a turkey to roast
She's got a turkey to roast,
But she don't baste.

She said that living with me
Is bringing her down yeah.
For she would never be free
When I was around.

She's got a turkey to roast
She's got a turkey to roast
She's got a turkey to roast,
But she don't baste.

Joe could end up getting stuffed if he messes with the Beatles.
