It’s 4am. I’m wheezing.
Why?
Garlen Lo released his new single, and with his usual charm and wit he’s dropped a cracker of a tune, and it’s made me chuckle.
Let’s get into it.
This starts off with what I can assume is a toy trumpet, because when you hear it, it sets the tone for the whole song, it’s just that, a piano, and percussion with finger snaps.
Lyrically, he talks about how you can travel the world, but there’s nothing like a London girl:
Choose your city, spin this globe
New York, Paris, Tokyo
It doesn’t matter where in this world
There’s nothing like a London girl
Speaks my lingo, knows the friends I keep
Ruby Murray and Rosie Lee
Don’t wanna have to Google translate
A London girl is your best mate
This is my favourite bit:
Looooooooooooooooooon… London girls!
Don’t wanna have to Google translate
A London girl is your best mate
No lies told.
I think this is a first and this is the bit where I lost it!
Laughs at dad jokes, gets a pun (Totally relatable)
Pulls my finger, just for fun
If I’m gonna do a fart (Never done that with a girl)
I know my London girl will laugh
Then he finishes off with a Bruce Forsyth impression.
Knows my cultural references
Could be useful in a quiz, like…
State a phrase of Bruce Forsyth
Nice to see you, to see you nice
Looooooooooooooooooon… London girls!
If they don’t know Bruce Forsyth
Nice to see you, to see you nice
If they don’t know Bruce Forsyth
Nice to see you, to see you… nice!
A pretty good one too.
…What do you mean you don’t know who Bru-
Get out.
Anyway, my dude Garlen Lo is back and on this cold Tuesday morning he’s made me smile.
Well done!
