Not Much, Too Old

[ODH]

When I was a nipper, there was a song called Too Much, Too Young, by the Specials AKA.  Earlier this week the idea came into my head to invert the lyric so it was applying to someone getting on and who'd not done much with their life (i.e. someone like a bit like myself).

So I learnt the song on the uke then I spent a couple of days on the lyrics.

It's a parody with whole new lyrics and different treatment so I've put it as an original song.

Good stuff brother. Love that flute...I'm a sucker for a flute.
Rock on!

I'm not much of a fun of parodies but I loved the Countdown reference and the nod to the Countdown theme. I have a Countdown reference in one of my songs btw 

I'd love to hear you do the original version.

Love the wearing Beige line,
really well-done pal, a great start to my Saturday morning.
Hows the ankle???

I remember the original. This made me smile -  very true and funny lyrics :-) Super interpretation and repurposing of this song Nick :-)

Brilliant! I got a strong (early) 70's vibe... Great song, I'm loving that flute as well!
