upside downer

Good evening, pop-pickers! Here's my entry for the merry month of August. All this talk of mirrors and toilet doors is a mile away from where my befuddled brain has led me. My take on the picture is that the door is a portal to a fantasy dining experience with a famous face from the afterlife. I join @Nicko in eschewing all that autotune malarkey so you'll just have to deal with my somewhat odd attempt at an Ian Dury style vocal which veers into Danny Dyer territory at some points. (Low) Tech news - Roland Cube amp, guitar Epiphone Gibson Special, bass Westfield VB960 short scale utilising an EHX Crying Bass wah/fuzz pedal, Yamaha YPT 240 keyboard, drums from a Looperman sample and cockney geezer vox captured by an Apogee MiC+. All recorded, as usual, with NCH Wavepad and Audacity. Lyrics below if you feel the need to work out what the hell I'm babbling on about.
