Hello - this is a political parody backing the Yes vote for Scottish independence. It's based on the song I want to be Seduced which was written by Gary Tigerman and Leon Redbone. It's only 50 seconds but it took me bloody ages to film . . .

I appreciate there are lots of negatives to living in Scotland too but you've got Nicola Sturgeon and we've got Theresa May, end of!

Oh and there's just a little bit of songcrafter influence in there too  ;D

I <3 Scotland by Hilary Fox 19.03.17

I want to move to Scotland
Cause Scotland's got a lot to offer me
I want to leave England, forget Brexit
And still be part of the European Community


I want to elect my own Prime Minister
and not have someone foisted upon me
I want to have proportional representation
Free university education and
Political autonomy

You could argue politely, quite rightly
You can get deep fried mars bars in Torquay
I'm absolutely certain Scotland's the place to be
I'm absolutely certain Scotland's the place for me

I've got no turtle in this race, but you've convinced me, for one. I think you do a great job with the lyric, which isn't the most smooth (and can't be, really, to make your point.)

Yep - proportional rerespentation/free university education.

It wasn't just the lyrics though, I had to land on f7 on the uke without looking at it - twice.

Crikey I wish I was a musician . . .

WTG Hilary... witty, funny, ... I want to go to Scotland and hang out with ORH and Kenny Mac and anyone else on here who lives in the great country. I want to play bagpipes while playing golf while drinking some stout . Yup sounds like a pretty cool place indeed. Love the vid too.

as Nicola Sturgeon said yesterday at conference, "The Scottish First Minister told the SNP party conference that an independent Scotland would welcome people from across the home nations - especially those “appalled” at Theresa May’s Brexit plan."

great song and i feel your pain, (which we could still suffer).

tho i must add, Teresa May couldn't tie Nicola's shoe laces lol.  IMHO we are very lucky to have Nicola as our first minister.

That's exactly what I meant - I was thinking if I could choose any PM I'd choose Nicola Sturgeon (can't abide Teresa May) and that thought led me to this song. You are very lucky indeed to have her as Prime Minister.
