Other Phil McWalter
Everybody Knows Gene - [Conover/McWalter]

This was a bit of an hommage to George Martin for me. Bruce's track was so redolent of the Beatles already. The @conover bed included the main man singing the eponymous title lines "Everybody knows Gene..." and the lovely rich "bum, bum, bum" and "la, la, la..." bits! I cut it all up and sellotaped it back together in a different order; added lyrics, the song verse/chorus, and the additional orchestration (brass, guitars, strings etc). Good fun working with BC material as always! (Isn't the bass line stunning for one example!) Lyrics below.

@conover couldn't resist throwing another party and has edited and remixed my version for his new hybrid version which can be found here: soundcloud.com/bruce-conover/e...conovermcwalter

Everybody knows Gene...

And everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
No-one wants a party
If Gene isn’t about
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?

Everybody knows Gene...

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den?
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again?

We’re playing hide and seek with Gene
Everybody knows Gene...
We’re playing hide and seek with Gene

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den?
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again?
Everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?
