I thought "Ngikulela" from Songs in the Key of Life"...not knowing all the lyrics, I though it a good guess.

I was pretty sure it was the first verse of Innagaddadavida...or maybe the top-secret real lyrics to Louie, Louie...

Mmm... no... it's, in fact, "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...", then follows this mbube or something

I'm with Dane on this one:
"She's well acquainted with the touch of a velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane,
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots,
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime,
A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the national trust"
Interesting imagery, and completley open to lots of interpretation. I like that.

Everybody's going through changes
Everybody's got a bag of his own
Everybody's talking about places
That can only be found in the greater unknown
People are dying
The babies are crying
Don't nobody care at all?
There's love and disaster
And good things come after
Just follow the paths along
Popcorn double feature
The whole world's a funny farm
That man is your teacher
No need to be alarmed
not much
As John said:
Interesting imagery, and completely open to lots of interpretation. I like that.

"Who likes your hair?
We like your hair!
Who likes your hair?
We like your hair!
Who likes your hair? We like your hair!"
A "concept" 60s song, huh?

oh wait... it's US...

"Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man..."
Not exactly "Watching Scotty Grow'...you won't hear that one on the piped-in Muzak at Dow Chemical HQ...

How's this one Sheena?
Ooh man, dig that crazy chick.
Who wears short shorts
We wear short shorts
They're such short shorts
We like short shorts
Who wears short shorts
We wear short shorts.

£30 must be joking that's £12 more than it is valued at and that is top side. All relative I suppose but e-bay is the place to sell it otherwise I want commission!
