Split Single With Happy Lounge Labelmates

After something of a hiatus with the Keeping Two Chevrons Apart project, I present the latest Half Man Half Biscuit cover in the series, from the album Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral.

First, the fully mixed version, which sat on my harddrive for months before being discovered earlier today, having a kazoo solo added and getting published

However I wasn't 100% happy with it, so I dashed off a quick unplugged version for YouTube instead of making a video with the mixed one. I think I prefer it, because it's a bit more fun, casual and slightly more deranged. This is also on SoundCloud.

now, I always get requests for chords when I post this stuff, so I'll do it now instead of waiting

Amazing what one can achieve with a mere three chords, isn't it? Well, three chords and a 7th. And I must say it is very fun indeed to sing in harmony with onesself, even if the resulting dirge is far removed from the realms of high art.
