Not only does this guy change the words, he changed the tune as well! Is this to evade royalties I wonder?

Sadly its all too common for people to take someone else's song , make a couple of minor changes , then copyright it ! Try posting anything to You Tube and see what some clown has a copyright on !!!

how about the Village production of Hamlet ?

Let us acknowledge Allan 'spud' Taylor who was probably one of if not the first to sing the Gnome to a wider public

I heard him perform it at the first Boadstairs fest

A truly dreadful, sickly sweet mangling of the great original by Miles.

GAWD Vic - That version is TRULY Awful - Does Miles know about it ?
And I sang it tonight at Maidenhead - dare I say a LOT better than that !

If you check it out properly you will notice he has given writing credit to Miles Wooton!

Not sure if you have got all the Lyrics for The Gnome. If not let me know as I have them all. Cheers Carrie
