Saw Ian Wright on TV last night and can't help wondering if he's been 'fashion-influenced' by our Jolly...

ICYMI - we recently released a single:
thehappysomethings.bandcamp.com/track/a-kind...
The response has thrown up interesting interpretations. It's been heard as a simple love song, a song about unrequited love & cited as a 'stalker song'.
The original was written 40 yrs ago & was very innocent!

While the cats are away... a mouse has been playing & uploading lots of pre Happy Somethings' music to Bandcamp: salv.bandcamp.com
It would be lovely if it reached some ears & whiskers...
