Hello All,
Every Christmas Day at 3pm The Queen addresses the nation. All very pleasant and traditional.

The other day I was chatting with a group of my friends and the subject of the Queens speech came up. One of said group (to much hilarity from the rest of us) announced that if he could have any job it would be to be Queen. We reasoned that he would have to be King but he was having none of it! (Gives you an idea of the calibre of my friends I suppose )

Anyhow I came home and wrote a little ditty for him. It is a little rough I know but is done in the spirit of humour and CERTAINLY no disrespect is intended to Her Maj.

Hope you enjoy this bit of fun. I think I may trim it and tidy it a little and then present it to my friend next time we meet. (Well if it gets a thumbs up I will ) Thumbs down and it will be consigned to history.....My friends YOU DECIDE

I Want to be Queen
Best wishes
Tony

Tony......
another fantastic witty composition!
Who knows maybe the Royal Family needs a Theme song?

Thanx for sharing

Tony,

God save the "QUEEN"!

You definitely had me rolling on the floor with this one and the cleverly campy lyrics (of which every word can be easily understood on first listen). I'd love to see this showcased as a musical skit on SNL (Saturday Night Live). Not only does your Roland RS70 'piano patch' sound really impressive, but your piano playing was equally enjoyable. Nice vibes counter melody as well. - Scott

Donny and Scott,
Very many thanks for the listen. Glad you both enjoyed it

Scott, ....I too am impressed with the piano sounds on the RS 70. (My primary reason for buying it.) The patch used was RS Grand.

Donny, .... forget Theme song.... maybe it could replace the National Anthem
best wishes to you both
Tony

Tony,
This song is exceptional! Very light, simply arranged and easy-listening.
Could we hope that you put together a video to this song?
I highly appreciate the contemporary Enlghish composers - my favourites are Elton John, Andrew Lloyd Webber and now Tony W.

Don, George, Roy, Eddie and Tony
Thankyou for the listen and the kind words.

George,.... that is probably the first and last time that my name will appear in the same sentence as Elton John or Andrew Lloyd Webber!!! I am very flattered though

best wishes to you all
Tony
