Lyrics:
Ahmed
I was looking for a policeman
Can you help, can you help me PC
Someone stole, stole away my honey
Now she's gone, gone with greasy
We were away, away in Tunisia
When she met, when she met Ahmed
He was tanned and very good looking
And very proud and promised to wed
I never got, got to love you
Come back, come back, come back
I promise I'll be everything you wanted
You can have all my stack
Your father and even your sister
Think you must, must be quite mad
For me they even feel sorry
'Cause without you I'm so sad

Jack, if anyone tried to steal my snack they'd be in big trouble.
Really pleased you enjoyed it. I think it's one of those songs that people will either love or hate. was a bit worried about posting it.
Thanks again Jack (still waiting for yours' and getting impatient.
Cheers

And now &mdash 05/09/08 - 05:16:39 PM
for something completely different....
i like that you are never tied down to any specific style. unless ecclectic is a style. i liked what you did with your vocals on this one. i was thinking the other day;
" i bet len could do some other styles with his voice, and i wonder how it would sound?"
this is like a twisted circus train ride with a rockabilly band playing for your listeing pleasure... great track len. i need to think along these lines sometime...

pleased to see you here Allen - I really appreciate your support. I am blown away to think that you were thinking of me the other day.
Glad you enjoyed my bit of nonsense.

Do you know by any chance "The Real Tuesday Weld" ? [ Reply to This ]
Thanks so &mdash 05/09/08 - 06:06:31 PM
much for visiting - I am a big fan of yours'. Just looking at youtube videos of 'The Real Tuesday Weld' - I had not heard of them but now I have, I am very interested in hearing more. Very unusual stuff - enjoyed the 'Clerkenwell' one, I only live about a quarter of a mile from there and spent most of my working life in the Clerkenwell area.
Thanks again for the comment - really appreciated.
Cheers

masterpiece Lengold.I'd love to see a live performance of this.Seriously- post it on youtube! [ Reply to This ]
I think masterpiece &mdash 05/09/08 - 06:10:09 PM
might be a bit too strong Mark - just a bit of fun, I felt that my songs were getting a bit 'samey' and needed to do something different.
Who could I get to play Ahmed in the video? Interesting idea - I will give it some thought.
Thanks a lot for your support Mark - really appreciated.
Cheers

allo allo allo what's all this then?- &mdash 05/09/08 - 06:19:27 PM
great song with an almost Bonzo Dog quality about it. The main thing is that it's entertaining and fun and instant. I cant help feeling that William's chopper could have made an entry somewhere in it though!!
Good one Len.
John. [ Reply to This ]
allo allo allo to you too &mdash 05/09/08 - 06:32:31 PM
Do you know John, I think you have been an influence on me - I needed to do some fun. i used to love the Bonzo's - but didn't make the connection until now.
I thought that I'd leave William's Chopper alone because I am certain that you're dying to play with it yourself and wouldn't want to intrude.
Thanks for the encouraging comments John - very appreciated.
Cheers

Quite a manic track you've got there. I love the tuba-like sound in the bass.

Talk about outside the box! &mdash 05/09/08 - 06:59:12 PM
I have to admit I couldn't imagine how you go from an empty LP screen to getting this! Inventive in lots of ways - a really interesting post Len.
Love the reprise too.
Impressed in Oz!
Neil [ Reply to This ]
Outside the box! &mdash 05/10/08 - 07:23:59 AM
Impressed - is a word I like, especially from you Neil. Usually I write a 'proper' song on the piano first. But in this case I did just start with a blank screen and was just playing around. Didn't really think it would come to anything.
I faded the song out and logic faded it back in again without any help from me - I decided to not play with fate and just altered the sounds a bit for the fade back in - strange eh?
Really appreciate the listen and comment Neil.
Cheers from the UK.

No way! &mdash 05/09/08 - 07:03:17 PM
This rules, Len. Truly a very imaginative work, but also it never swerves into being ridiculous or silly. It's incredibly listenable and entertaining and it's posts like this that make you one of the most fascinating and distinctive artists on the site. [ Reply to This ]

There can be no help... lol... &mdash 05/09/08 - 08:34:31 PM
Well just how ingenious was that... Dynamic discordance... masterfully rhythmic, especially at the beginning.
And just how long did it take for you to recover from having made this... It would seem that one would have to derange oneself in order to be able to get this out.
I had to shake like a freshly wetted dog and walk around a few circles and back, when I was done.
Pretty damn clever, Len! Good one! Thanks for the shake up! Dion [ Reply to This ]

so oddly unique. and cooler then heck.
Man, you must of had the funnest time putting this together. excellent! [ Reply to This ]
Wild Ride &mdash 05/10/08 - 07:36:31 AM
Yeah, it was fun to do - but I was a bit stuck for quite a while at one stage with what to do with it. Then the Tunisia story appeared in my brain from nowhere and it all fell into place.
Thanks for your continued support Vic - extremely appreciated.

I need more Tuba &mdash 05/09/08 - 11:16:06 PM
obviously there is not enough tuba in my music... I wonder how many folks listened through the reprise and abrupt ending.. clever, creative, spoooky wierd, in a good (no great way)... you are twisted in such a perfect way... the evidence is all over this piece of work...
loved it [ Reply to This ]
Scott - It means &mdash 05/10/08 - 07:38:54 AM

Call the cops &mdash 05/10/08 - 02:42:12 AM
Wow Len - fantastic production on this - really smart use of effects. This is nuts - has a real circus feel to it (!?). The 'greasy' line reminds me of Borat for some reason. Love how you sing 'tunisia'! [ Reply to This ]
Call the cops &mdash 05/10/08 - 07:42:44 AM
I have actually been to Kazakhstan where Borat 'comes from', maybe it was an influence. Mind you, you've probably been there too I would guess?
Actually that 'Tunisia' bit is my favourite too.
Really pleased you liked it Steve and thanks for always taking the time - all the best.

WOW &mdash 05/10/08 - 07:47:53 AM
I did warn you Bob that this one was different - I was a bit afraid of posting it. I hope you are working on a new one - I will be checking up, so get on with it.
Pleased you enjoyed it Bob - looking forward to seeing you both soon and our holiday.

I was waiting for Len's new song for sometime and that's why yesterday, I had to check some of your oldies and listen to them. Happy to hear the new one today... as Feter said "always the unexpected". This is amazingly fun but great work... Very Fine Sir!!

100% Lengold Madness &mdash 05/10/08 - 08:29:45 AM
Well Len, you did warn me that you weren't going to pull any punches on this one... This was a real cool surprise as the intro wasn't what I was expecting all the crazy carnival sounds to jump out of. Your vocals are energetic and a bit humorous. I love the departure from some of your other slower, darker vocal treatments. (This is still plenty dark, so don't worry). I also really appreciate the amazing amounts of silence you allowed, never rushing, always building the anticipation. The big pause at the end before your outro was another great example of using that time dramatically.
Killer track Len. You live on the cutting edge!
Bob [ Reply to This ]
100% Lengold Madness &mdash 05/10/08 - 03:22:36 PM
Thanks Bob for letting me use you as a sounding board for this. As you know I was floundering a bit with it. You gave me the encouragement to carry on.
Really pleased you like the way it finished up and a big thank you for the nice compliments.
I think the next one might have fallen off that edge.
Cheers and thanks again.

This is such a funny track, its brilliant as well as completely bonkers. Well done Len, this is out there. Very, very trippy. Fantastic, its completely different to anything I've heard before and just when you think its finishes its comes back again with some mental panning. Very cool track. [ Reply to This ]
Completely Bonkers &mdash 05/10/08 - 06:51:45 PM

Very much enjoyed, a great outro too with the fade out and fading in again! Fantastic! [ Reply to This ]

You have the most &mdash 05/11/08 - 04:02:16 PM
amazing range, and you produce some truly original music. This is very cool - hints of sixties whimsy, circus mania, and clever, humorous lyrics. The sound is great - terrific mix, too. I love the way you use the stereo space - there are things happening all over my headphones! Very cool. Nicely done, my friend. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
I love songs &mdash 05/11/08 - 04:38:30 PM
where things are happening all over the headphones and since changing to Logic I am trying to do the same. I must be careful not to overdo it though - I am really just feeling my way at the moment.
Thank you very much David for your continued support and a massive thank you for the lovely comments.

As ever &mdash 05/12/08 - 03:36:13 AM
Len this is so original - I never know what to expect when the musical note appears by your name. I think DavisA was spot on 'wierdly wonderful' indeed. Excellent mix and production. Great!

I never know &mdash 05/12/08 - 06:32:03 AM

true story? &mdash 05/12/08 - 11:23:32 AM
Did you find a police man?
Cool tune - could fit well as a sound track for a movie. Sounds like a tuba doing the bass part. Is that a software instrument or did you play a real one? [ Reply to This ]
Hello Thoddi &mdash 05/12/08 - 03:09:10 PM
Thanks for the comments, no, not a true story I'm pleased to say.
The 'tuba' is three layers of the same midi file, one bass, one strings, and one high pitched synth sound.
Do I wish I could play a tuba - Nah!
