Well it is definitely one of the happiest songs. A bit dixielandish I
guess. I'm not so well educated about jazz styles.

(I didn't listen to them all. )

Okay... We need him to run through practice sessions with well respected
musicians and vocalists...

...and then record it with Pepsi on the vocals!

Did you really have to quote all that only to make an off-topic remark?

So....

Round one over.

Sitting in a VERY decent fifth.
(Although I was a very decent fourth until the guy below suddenly strated
gatting consistently 18 votes more than me.. after making up 30 odd votes to
get there in the first place !!!!)

Anyway.. I was good 50+ votes ahead of 6th place, and considering Molly and
Hank have huge internet followings... YEah! Pleased!

So.. into round two.
Write a song no less the 1m 15 secs long which uses no more than 10 unique
words.
Those words can be repeated as many times as you like, but only 10 words may
be used.
(Like, for example.. Frere Jaques has only 10 words in the original french)

And I have my idea fully fleshed out in my head already !!! ;' )

I will, of course, let you all know when I require blatant partisanship !

;' )

I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
Get on your nerves, get on your nerves.
I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
a song that'll get on your nerves.

Rinse (nausea off the floor) and repeat.
