Tin Tin - It's A Long Long Way To Georgia album flac

Tin Tin was formed in 1966 in Melbourne as a beat pop group, The Kinetics, with a line-up of Steve Groves on vocals, guitar and harmonica, Ken Leroy on bass guitar, Ian Manzie on drums, piano and banjo, and John Vallins on guitar, drums and clarinet. Non-album singles, "Talking Turkey" (1972), "I'm Afraid" and "It's a Long Way to Georgia" (both 1973) followed but did not chart. Another single, "Strange One", was released under the name Quire, also on the Polydor label, but had very little success. It's a Long Way to Georgia" b/w "Can't Get Over You" (1974).

It was allegedly written for a 5-shilling bet in Stalybridge on 30 January 1912 and performed the next night at the local music hall. Now commonly called "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", the original printed music calls it "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary".

It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there. It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there. Molly wrote a neat reply To Irish Paddy O' Saying: "Mike Maloney wants To marry me, and so Leave the Strand and Piccadilly Or you'll be to blame For love has fairly drove me silly Hoping you're the same!" It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye, Piccadilly Farewell, Leicester Square! It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there.

No, give me more info.

It is a long way to Tipperary - but from where exactly? Lyrics and history of the popular soldiers' song explored. It might as well have been the way to Caerphilly or Glasgow City because Tipperary was picked by chance. The song was written by Jack Judge and Harry Williams as a music hall and marching song in 1912. Legend has it that Judge accepted (and subsequently won) a bet that he couldn't write a hit song overnight. So he penned "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", taking the name of what was then an obscure Irish town (or county) that somebody had mentioned now and then.

But this gem gave Americans a taste of his wild-ass greatness. The title says it all: three discs of brilliantly turned tunes about pop's signature emotion. Stephin Merritt lived out a Tin Pan Alley fantasy as he spooled his droll bass over synth pop, bubblegum, Afropop, show tunes, country and more. It's irony on steroids, but try to get through "Papa Was a Rodeo" without shedding a tear.

Then he shouted to them there: C. It's a long way to Tipperary, F. C. It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary. Hoping you're the same! C.
