Hurrah! There’s a new Van album coming out. A promotional single featuring snatches from all the songs has been circulated, grafted on to the formula slow blues attached. Pretty much all the songs on the album, of course, can be sung to this track. Sing-a-long-a-Van…
Let It Rhyme, Every Time – Let It Rhyme, Every Time – I See A River, see a river, see a river – Going Down To Bangor, down to Bangor, down Memory Lane, Out In The Cold Again – Gonna Look Behind The Hill In Tiburon In Tiburon – next door ta Avalon – Share Your Love With Me, Holy Guardian Angel, high in the art a’ suffering one, hand me down my greatcoat and my big boots, Keep Me Singing, Keep Me Singing, keep me churnin’ out lists a’ things, lists a’ things, smokin’ dope in Kendal, with Wordsworth an’ Coleridge, Lambert an’ Butler, Flanagan an’ Allen, Bill an’ Ben, Flowerpot Men, remember when remember when – we did the twist, we did the mashed potato, the potted herring, the pasty supper, the Caledonia Swing, Caledonia Swing – it ain’t Too Late, it ain’t Too Late, ‘cos The Pen is Mightier Than The Sword, mightier than the sword – and that sword is Excaliber, an’ it lives over there, down by Avalon, down by Avalon, (etc etc etc)…

If this is true it’s great news. Based on that sample of lyrics I am pretty sure he is beginning to channel another Norn Irish guy, Colin someone, methinks.
Is he running out of ideas?
As long as he doesn’t run out of unchallenging Hammond organ slow blues to reminisce and reverie over. Let’s try that link again:

I know Colin is, the Van pastiche schtick has gotten very old.
Ooh, everyone’s a critic!
Yes, but did ye get famished?
Why d’ye need a new van? That old Transit’s good for another few years yet.
Oh..
What colour did you buy, Colin?
Eh?
What colour van did you buy?
Having just read the title and not the OP, I was making the same joke as Mike.
Bit slow on the uptake today, Tig…
