'Jim'll Never Fix It' - Greeny Original

[Greeny]

Some northern soul inspired bouncy guitars and bass. The title has nothing to do with our dear ORH, lol... I'm sure he can fix most things! It's inspired by a very well-known British TV programme called Jim'll fix it (from the 70's and 80's), where the creepy Jimmy Saville would make kids dreams come true (within BBC budget restrictions, lol...).

All done on the BR. Everything by me.

WOW Tim, you never stop to amaze me. You must have a whole songwriting team locked inside your closet and feeding them only when they slip you another hit under the door !!!

Really love this catchy swinging hit-song!

Amazing bass-playing !!!!!!!! It carries the song in a good swinging way !!!


Bravo !

she was asked to go on a jim'll fix it where are they now kinda prog to meet the boy he is now a lawyer or somesuch she said yeah im up for it but the guy said no way he was deadly embarrassed .

That is freaking brilliant! What a pudding-bowl haircutted little freak! Like a motorcycle helmet of hair, lol. I missed this programme but have been watching some of the other art related Scotland shows on BBC4. Some good stuff. The one about the Ossian poetry forgeries was really interesting.
