Is it just me
But whenever I hear the name "Gordon Brown", I sing "Texture like sun..." To myself - nobody else knows.

I am well aware that this is clearly showing my age, but it keeps me happy (inside)

Thank's for that.
Now I know I'm going to end up doing the same :(

Not only do I do that
but I'm now going to be singing it all day...

I wonder how many people in the office I can have humming the tune before I go home.

Yep.
I do that.

google is your friend
Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading

West
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown
With golden brown
Never a frown
With golden brown

I couldn't resist...
Gordon Brown taxing your arse
Grinds me down with stealthy levies
It can't be right
No chance to fight
Always a frown with Grodon Brown

Every policy just like the last
Talking prudence, but handing out cash
'Rock or Railtrack
(they'll never pay back)
The economy's down - post Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown's public finance
It's off the books, there's not a chance
of accountability
from big industry
They've never a frown with Gordon Brown

Always a frown
With Gordon Brown
He's such a clown
Our Gordon Brown

Edit: Oops - realised I'd left one "Golden" in there... Thanks for the appreciation all!

That's a mighty fine effort there ^^

@MM
you like to "cram a lot in" eh?

*sniggers*
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 6 Aug 2008, 14:22, Reply)

So do I
And I'm sixteen.
Edit: I mean, about the Gordon Brown thing. Should really have read the rest of the thread first.

The lyrics!
Thanks for posting the original lyrics...I always thought it was 'lay me down with my mansheeron'

God knows what I thought a bloody mansheeron was.

Manchurian
or some kind of exotic instrument or dope-smoking device or instrument-cum-dope-smoking device called a Munsheerun or similar.

Just watched the Golden Brown video on YouTube.
Feel so mellow.
( thealternativefact, Wed 6 Aug 2008, 16:53, Reply)

Me too!
And i'm 22...

Also my friend Jordan Brown gets the exact same treatment.

Another called Jenny Coull gets "Jenny, Jenny Coull. Jenny, Jenny Coull" to the tune of Daddy Cool.
