That Dog Song & Other Nonsense

Now.

It occurs to M.O.D that scurrilous n’er-do-wells have been INAPPROPRIATELY attributing their OWN monikers for some of M.O.D’s songs-written-by-M.O.D.

It is our DUTY to disavow The Herd of such inappropriate leanings. Therefore, a summary of a handful of CURRENT songs that EMANATE from M.O.D’s FETID hands is provided below. If you wish to know what other songs are called, please write to us. We shall then promptly throw your paltry missive into a handy furnace. Thank you.

– The Dog Song. The Dog Song is NOT called The Dog Song. It is called SNOUT. Remember. You must BARK LIKE DOGS at this song.

– The song about God & stuff like that. This is called This Light Above. It is not about Our Lord because Badger is the incarnation of a 13th century WITCH called Steve. However, were he a Cornish Tin Miner (that’s an E in Miner, and no, it’s not Ab Minor which is another hilarious joke. LAUGH AT THIS), he would surely have believed in such things. Everyone is allowed a hobby after all.

– The new JAUNTY one about Beautiful Boys & Girls, where Stallwood performs clarinet-based gymnastics and Miggle considered playing the spoons until we sat on him until he squeaked*. This is called Pansy Craze. Why? Why not? The clue is in the WORDS after all. It should be noted that Alex is made to sing some lines on this because he is quite sheltered. His normal routine is to stay at home, watching the rain trickle down the window, hating mankind. This must be stopped.

– The one when Alex makes us UNPLUG our filthy instruments, and INTERFERE with the audience. Why that’s called Under The Window. We do not know why he calls it this. But it is beautiful when Arran & Miggle swing their mighty trumpets of destiny into the fray.

*Miggle is often squeaking. He does this when somebody makes a swear or puts mashed potato on their face; or if he sees a lovely fluffy cat.

Burnham on Sea FOLKFEST!

Hello yes. Burnham. On. Sea. It is BY THE SEA. So therefore, so are M.O.D

We shall be folking up the aptly titled Somerset & Dorset* stage as headliners!

Those with a cunning eye will note the preceding band are also rather lovely…

*naturally you will of course be aware of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway Company that ran a branch to Burnham. Unfortunately, the entire S&D was a victim of callous cuts in the 1960s due to some bloke who was a total Richard. So you can no longer traverse to Bath and its beautiful Green Park station via the rail network, hauled by magnificent 9F locos eg Evening Star. Am I boring you now? BORING YOU AM I? Pfft xxx

Under The Window

What’s that song M.O.D play with their mighty 12 year old bass player singing whilst strumming a tiny guitar?

Isn’t it lovely? IT IS LOVELY. 

But what do they sing in the chorus?

Crying in the evening
Drowning my sorrows
I love you all
but can this wait till tomorrow
I’m hanging by a thread
Caught in this dread
I’m raging around my fragile head

 

That’s what they sing! AND WE DON’T KNOW WHY, BUT YOU WILL APPLAUD WHEN THEY DO IT.

Thank you x
