"Up The Junction" Musical Parody!

Alski · 20 July, 2010, 12:22:14 AM

It's another song from meself, this time a very unofficial (and very uncomplimentary) tourist video for my hometown of Weston-super-Mare.

It takes off "Up The Junction" by Squeeze, and is called "Up Junction 21".

Let me know what you think.

Hmm- that sounds glandular.

Yep... that was good.
could of done with a vid that was a bit more stable and with some .... harder examples of the song lyrics. (Or would that be taking your life in your hands?)

Very funny. Was it windy?

At 2:03 you have written 'But would steal of their mothers,'

Could you please rectify this before certain members of this forum report you

I did give you a thumbs up rating

Heh! Good work mate; it could really apply to most sea side towns in my experience.

When I did it I though it was pretty much interchangable with, say, Brighton.

You mean report him to the spelling police? If so there's the offence of spelling 'hordes' with an 'a' to take into account too.

Coming from Brighton myself, I can't say I recognize the analogy. It sounds more like Rhyl.

I normaly are grate at speling an all tat, but woz in a rush.

And yeah, definitely Rhyl! Or Bognor! Or Blackpool!

Job well done! I would recommend "Welcome to Shoreham" by Shoreham's favourite musical artterrorists The Lovely Brothers; Unfortunately there's only a poor sounding live version on the web but there are some other great songs such as 'Kebab' to be heard here: http://www.thelovelybrothers.co.uk/music.htm

Welcome to Shoreham:

Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea

We've got the oldest building in Sussex: the Marlipins Museum
If you're interested in old bits of boats, that's probably where you'll see 'em
It's a seaside resort (of sorts), that I can't deny
But it's amazing how many surfers there are, when the waves are only 1 foot high

Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea

If you're after entertainment, then head down to Shoreham station
The lads down there will amuse you for hours with their witty conversation
But no-one ever goes to BJ's - although it's the only club in town
There must an insurance scam, because that place keeps burning down

Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea
Welcome to Shoreham, welcome to Shoreham-by-sea

When will be free of the blight
That is the Ropetackle site?
For thirty years or more, it's been a source of great debate
But I'd rather have a pile of rubble than another bland estate

Shoreham-by-sea - It's the place I want to be!
Shoreham-by-sea - A strong sense of community!
Shoreham-by-sea - A utopian society!
Shoreham-by-sea - Welcome to Shoreham!
