Samuel’s Musicians Of The Week

During the week where I was still deciding whether or not to stand for parliament, Michael from the 2CC production department put together a rather amusing audio piece containing snippets of my original discussion with Mike Welsh on the issue, and two songs. The artists behind the first song get the musicians of the week award this week, and you’ll find out about the second song next week.

So, the musicians of the week award this week goes to T-Rex, and the feature song is Telegram Sam.

Oooh, oh man, oooh
Telegram Sam, Telegram Sam, you are my main man
Golden Nose Slim, Golden Nose Slim
I knows where you been oh
Purple Pie Pete, Purple Pie Pete
You’re lips are like lightning girls melt in the heat, yeah

Telegram Sam you’re my main man
Telegram Sam you’re my main man
Oh, ooh

Oooh, Samson and Christoph, what a pair!

Bobby’s alright, Bobby’s alright
