Covered

Cover update: my girlfriend bought a copy of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole on VHS from a charity shop. It's a TV dramatisation of the book the was done in the Eighties. We out it on and I remembered the theme tune instantly. But I never realised what a great song it is! It's got a real bitter sweet feel to it.

I looked it up and realised it is by Ian Dury and that a full song has been made of it. Perfect cover material I think. I've found the chords online and had a quick play through last night and it sounds quite good done in my plinky-plonky guitar style.

The sequel, The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, has got a different verse so I might use that one in my version too.
