00:17 I'm gonna sing a song
00:20 Yeah
00:22 I'm gonna sing a song and I wrote this for one of the greatest singers in the world Tony Hadley and
00:29 so
00:30 Please forgive me doing my interpretation
00:33 It was kind of the version that I would have shown my brother Martin when I called him in, you know
00:38 We were living at home with our mom and dad and I said mom I've got a song
00:41 I've got a song that he would come in and I play it to him, you know, and he would give me the thumbs up or down
