PJ DUNNAGE DREAMS IN 'COLOURED PICTURES'

Not long after we finished up PJ's 'Devil Man', ( see post immediately below ), PJ dragged another set of lyrics out of his bag of tricks. He said "It's called Coloured Pictures", and started singing.

He had a bit of a cockney thing going on, and for one reason or another we gravitated towards a quasi ska beat. We thought that was all a bit of fun and were reminded of the ska craze that swept England, and then the world, around about the late 70s.


PJ leaned into the cockney thing, and soon enough Ian Dury and the Blockheads came to our collective minds. That got us all rollicking along, and soon enough we had the thing down.


Lots of fun!  Nothing too serious.
