There’s a facebook campaign just set up to help Jape’s superb next single ‘Phil Lynott’ get to Nollaig #1. I’d love to see it happen myself. What do you think?
Listen to the tune..
“Even though he was tough, you could tell he was kind / and when he took the stage he owned it / and there right in sky was his half opened eye / he’s still winking at girls in the front row.”

Gets my vote for sure!
ye fuckin’ right!
Jape for president!
It won’t have a chance unless he releases a radio edit, and that would ruin the best line in the song.
Its on the free “Oxjamming” CD in the latest Hot Press, so its probably not gonna get a single release.
it is definitely a single.
Tune!
Genius! Love the song and will be going to facebook to set up an account.
Have you guys heard of the group Kasio Kristmas? It’s the funnist, quirky and most original Christmas CD i’ve ever heard!
It’s like Flight Of The Concords on crack!!!!!
