A couple of "cheat" covers

I'd not done anything with vocals for a little while, so to blast the cobwebs off, I did these cheaters where I just grabbed a backing track and sang over it.  One of them is a serious song, and the other one is silly and rude.

    lol - brilliant Python cover - 1 cool thing Kev, i left the video running and the next video that came up was Michael Palin talking about their appearance on Concert for George.  Nice to be in good company, Kev :)
