Paul McGrath is releasing a single

[TheSandman]

To be honest, if it keeps him out of trouble then it doesn't matter how bad it is as far as I'm concerned.

It's not brilliant but it's also not as bad as I was expecting.

[Risso]

He's not very good at skimming stones is he, I reckon I could get at least 6 bounces more than him.

[lordmcgrath5]

Erm, what can I say? ............ It's, erm, Paul McGrath, so it obviously can't be anything less than utterly marvellous, can it?

[PaulTheVillan]

I'm buying it.

[Chris Jameson]

Have you all taken leave of your senses? It's fucking terrible.

Still the best player i've ever seen in a Villa shirt though.

"the Emperor has no clothes on..." There's always a wanker little kid out there that points out the obvious.

Yes, he is the best player to have worn a Villa shirt in my time on this earth, and his greatness extends to much more than just that.

Err...pardon?

[Villanation]

If we only had him today......

[Kingthing]

It's not bad.

Yes it is.

Can't believe it took a page and a half. It's shit.

Should This be in off topic?

Now.  Let's be brutally honest here.  Musically, it's not bad, but great it certainly ain't.  It's in the Robson & Jerome envelope - he sings it in tune, and quite nicely, but it's not exactly pushing any musical boundaries.  It's not Animal Collective or Battles.  It's X-Factor bland.  But what is absolutely fecking brilliant about it is that Mr McGrath is looking quite bloody well in that video.  He's sung a song for charity, he's let someone film him singing it on a beach and he looks as relaxed as if he was marking Alan Shearer out of a game.  Piece of piss.  That's worth celebrating.  If you've read his book (if you haven't you should, but it's not a comfortable read) you can't help but wonder what he's up to and where his head is at.  He could be doing a medley of Right Said Fred songs in a dress for what it's worth, point is he would appear to be alive and well and in an alright place.  That, I think, is brilliant.

Well said mate, that sums it up nicely

joke Chris old chap. Sorry if it didn't come over that way. I was agreeing with you and was just saying that you were the first to point out it was a miserable song after so many had kind of said it was good. Which it isn't.

Nicely put.

The lyrics are fine, there's no problem there.

Sorry, I was (still am!)tired and even grumpier. It is rubbish though isn't it!
