A spur of the moment tune , just for fun really , nothing serious here just had a bash at this Manfred Man version , hope you like it

Cool song choice; had a real retro feel with the flute sound. Did Linda sing the backup vocals too?? The harmony part turned out really cool. Lot of fun, but was waiting for a cool lead guitar solo.

I handled those backing vocals , and it never occurred to me to do a solo

, still like Linda said , it really was just a *Quickie* , we are at the moment , having a mini heatwave here in Blighty , and my room starts cooking after about 15 minutes !!!!!!!!!! , but thanks for checking us out

I've actually played this song live quite a few times.
Not really a big fan of the song, as such, but the flute is pretty nice, and this was a great production as usual.
Great vocals Linda, and the backing vocals were great too.

You know i made this months ago , it was just sat there and i couldn't think what to do with it . It never really had the sparkle of that Manfred version. Linda said lets just do it . I was going to mix this in Mono to try and improve the feel , but just let it go as is . Many thanks for checking it out guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always liked this tune --- you did a great job on it

Have you ever heard the Quiet Riot version with Randy in guitar? The recording quality is bad on the version I got but the performance is good.

**wigrocks** · 06-13-2006, 06:27 AM

Fantastic you guys... Love it, really brings me back to a family BBQ in my youth with the radio playing this song in the background. Fantastic vocals Linda, I've really missed hearing you. Art those backing vox are scary good sir. If it makes you feel better I imagined the lead I think you would do, and it was better than great!!!
