in the name of fun by honker (an ancient bunkbeds song reworked)

[Oldrottenhead]

i got a nice surprise from ken in my email. yesterday the "on this day" song player dredged this one up. it was a song i wrote and recorded in the mid 80's when i was the bunkbeds.

ken heard it rerecorded it and emailed it to me so i resang it this morning.

the wurdz

it all comes flooding back
when you least expect it
you just gotta laugh

there's no telling what you'll do
when you're out to have fun
there's nothings gonna hold you down

when you get that crazy
you just laugh and stare
i can tell when you're up to something
and i wish i wasn't there
i know you're gonna do something silly
in the name of fun
there's nothing i can do to stop you
once you've begun

i'll wait until tomorrow
to tell you what went down
but i'm just wasting my time
you just won't believe me
you'll say that it's not true
no matter what i say

when you get that crazy
you just laugh and stare
i can tell when you're up to something
and i wish i wasn't there
i know you're gonna do something silly
in the name of fun
there's nothing i can do to stop you
once you've begun

but it all comes flooding back
when you least expect it
you just gotta laugh

there's no telling what you'll do
when you're out to have fun
there's nothings gonna hold you down

Beautiful treatment, this is monstrous now.  Its brand new and shiny and full of life.  mUst have been a great surprise Jim.  It really sounds good.  It is a certified Honker hit now.

Sounds nice Jim. Music was a bit rushed, sorry for a bit of sloppyness, had to rush to work.
I think you should post the old one here too, it's pretty special.
I can do that if you can't find it.

Superb!! This could have been a hit in the 80's, when you wrote this - very catchy! Loved the harmonies, too.

Man you sound like a kid in this 85 version Jim, such a youthful sounding voice.  Fantastic stuff.

[Oldrottenhead]

im still just a kid dave lol

[Bluesberry]

Yeah, I'm with you on that, we are just kids in grown men's bodies.  In fact I feel like I am getting younger with each year, I am going backwards.
