I'd Like to Strangle My Boss!

Don Woods

There was an interesting item on the morning news regarding gun crime in the U.S.A.....they had an ex policeman talking about how he runs courses teaching young kids how to protect themselves should someone come into the school and start shooting at everybody.... Boris is still hanging on in there trying to sort the country out despite being accused of touching a woman's knee 20 years ago....if this was part of a novel you would never believe it....what the hell this pathetic allegation has to do with politics is beyond me.. I recently ordered two tee shirts from Amazon....only one arrived so I contacted them...they told me they would refund the money for the two tee shirts and I could keep the one I had.....was Wetherspoon....don't you just love it....how's that for a two finger salute. If you ever visit the Roman City of Chester you can actually find some Romans still there....they work for the council and are disguised as traffic wardens....and you don't even have to park on a yellow line to get a ticket....I know...I GOT ONE!!.. The song this week has an interesting story behind it....it is called "Strangle My Boss".....which I originally wrote in the 70s and through s friend I met Leapy Lee.....he took the song to Evolution Records (who he was with at the time) and they signed me up as a songwriter....this particular song was recorded by The Bonzo Dog DooDah Band....I also wrote a song for Diana Dors who recorded it...then like a lot of companies back then they went under....I later recorded the song myself in a studio in Clapham and another chap I knew took it to Australia where it was recorded by a DJ called Barry Mundi and The Fishcakes .....that was the last I heard of it until this week when I was looking through YouTube and there it was in all its glory.Some country singer called Johnny Shilo has recently recorded it and put it on YouTube...I don't know the guy or where he heard the song but it's a great version....so here it is "Strangle My Boss"
