The other night I was watching the 2009 reunion concert of Cliff Richards and the Shadows. Again I think of myself as being so lucky to have lived through these great musical times. The spark of magic that evolved into their great music was an amazing thing. I have incorporated into the lyrics as many of their wonderful songs as I could. See if you can find them!

Like all great musical pairings it is not about how much each participant puts into a song but how the ingredients they add makes the music work. So it was for Cliff Richards, Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, Brian Bennett, Jet Harris, Brian Locking and John Rostill

Javolenus’ sample led me to creating various midi files from them that somehow got me into creating the backing track. Without his sample this piece would not have seen the light of day. So for that many thanks must go to him.

I think you’re beautiful but you’re still troublesome
You got me dancing when my feet should be still
A devil woman to be reckoned with a frustrating kid
A livin doll in the wonderful land of free will

I am just a bachelor boy living in the country its my choice
Your a girl from a place out on the beach
The summer holiday was such fun for we were the young ones
With your lucky lips I felt the sun please dont tease me and move out of reach

Gee whizz my foot is tapping I’m travelin light don’t know whats happening
Congratulations you got me moving I could easily fall in love with you
So in my dancin shoes I’ ll whirl like some Apache do you wanna dance right back to me
Don’t talk to him change your strategy yes thats the right thing to do
