One of the most complex gas related ballads ever written. I listened to this around a camp fire in the summer on my i-pod and it made me quite emotional.
The whole thing is fucking hilarious, and I know someone who has produced these two, and she said that everyone else used their "budgets" on writers, props, studio time etc, but Vic and Bob did all of them on a shoe string with camcorder style tech! HAHAHA! Good on them!!!!!!!!!!
The tune comes from a traditional murder ballad that appears in various titles and lyrics. Vic and Bob are probably familiar with Albion Country Band's "Hanged I Shall Be": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fA8JFRdyKuI.html For more information: mainlynorfolk.info/lloyd/songs/theoxfordtragedy.html
Haha, by some weird coincidence I was listening to Albion Band last week and this week began watching Vic and Bob’s afternoon delights 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Almost as good as Mulligan and O’Hare.
I don’t know why- stupid broadcasting decisions, probably- but we didn’t get to see Mortimer and Reeves in Australia. It would have done so well down here because they are brilliant. And BTW, NO ONE in Australia drinks Fosters. It is swill.
