It\u2019s 4am. I\u2019m wheezing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Garlen Lo released his new single, and with his usual charm and wit he\u2019s\u00a0 <\/span>dropped a cracker of a tune, and it\u2019s made me chuckle.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get into it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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\u2019s just that, a piano, and percussion with finger snaps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lyrically, he talks about how you can travel the world, but there\u2019s nothing like a London girl:<\/p>\n

Choose your city, spin this globe<\/p>\n

New York, Paris, Tokyo<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter where in this world<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing like a London girl<\/p>\n

Speaks my lingo, knows the friends I keep<\/p>\n

Ruby Murray and Rosie Lee<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wanna have to Google translate<\/p>\n

A London girl is your best mate<\/p>\n

This is my favourite bit:<\/p>\n

Looooooooooooooooooon\u2026 London girls!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t wanna have to Google translate<\/p>\n

A London girl is your best mate<\/p>\n

No lies told.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I think this is a first and this is the bit where I lost it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Laughs at dad jokes, gets a pun (Totally relatable)<\/p>\n

Pulls my finger, just for fun<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m gonna do a fart (Never done that with a girl)<\/p>\n

I know my London girl will laugh<\/p>\n

Then he finishes off with a Bruce Forsyth impression.<\/p>\n

Knows my cultural references<\/p>\n

Could be useful in a quiz, like\u2026<\/p>\n

State a phrase of Bruce Forsyth<\/p>\n

Nice to see you, to see you nice<\/p>\n

Looooooooooooooooooon\u2026 London girls!<\/p>\n

If they don\u2019t know Bruce Forsyth<\/p>\n

Nice to see you, to see you nice<\/p>\n

If they don\u2019t know Bruce Forsyth<\/p>\n

Nice to see you, to see you… nice!<\/p>\n

A pretty good one too.<\/p>\n

\u2026What do you mean you don\u2019t know who Bru-\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, my dude Garlen Lo is back and on this cold Tuesday morning he\u2019s made me smile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well done!<\/p>\n
