I always liked douglos in the jungle. The lyrics are silly and fun and I quite
like the style of it. Okay not tuneful but then the awkwneing doesn't have a
tune and that's good. And it's far better than the dance records you get these
days which have reapting voacls and awful drum beats. IMHO
So was douglos in the jungle done for the 25 years on session or was it just
the band muckign around one afternoon. Of course what hakwiwnd need to do is
issue all the unofficeal non money make material themselvse better quility
with more and an affrodable price and hopefuly all the other companies will
loss out. Okay it's not that simple but's beter than jsut letting them issue
the stuff.
