about

Clanky-clunky funky sounds, courtesy of electric guitars recorded acoustically, a solid indie beat, anarchic wobble-soundy lead guitar, and off we jolly well go...

This cautionary tale’s lyric is based on the experiences of a friend of mine. He stupidly believed that replacing his old furniture and carpets with clean, new Scandinavian items would somehow persuade his ex to magically reverse her decision to leave him, to return, to sit, having lovely evenings together, for a whole lifetime, enjoying the simple yet elegant lines of the new facade.

Did she return? What do you think?

lyrics

Yes, it’s the same old story

It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky

Boy meets girl and its love
And it’s beautiful
Then, things change
The girl wants ‘space’
The boy doesn’t understand
He doesn’t understand

It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky

“What, what, what, what
What, what, what, went wrong?”
He asks himself over and over again
All he can think of was
She was never overly keen
On his old, brown wooden furniture
And his wallpaper and his patterned carpets
So: get rid of that stuff
Get new stuff from Scandinavia

It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky

New furniture is not the answer
If you have a relationship problem
No no no

It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky

It’s Scandinavian...

You’re running away from yourself
Of course she didn’t come back
Now she’s married to a man named Sven
Guess where he lives?
Yes, he Fishes off the coast of Scandinavia

It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian
It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
