Thread Name: Origins: Glasgow Corporation Song
Subject: RE: Origins: Glasgow Corporation Song
I once heard Adam Macnaughtan, around 1990, singing a song on a similar theme to the tune of The Spanish Lady which included the improbable line
Flat roofs work just fine in Algeria, not so well in Hutchesontown
(Algeria was where the Corporation got their design), and finished with
it pays to be Frank
alluding to some local politician on the take.
Which is a very similar idea but not at all the same song.
