Lee Otway’s Songwriting Genius
…or lack of it…
Lil’ Lee got a bit emotional this evening at the prospect of being kicked off Love Island, and decided to write a song in honour of the Love Island contestants.
I fought back tears (of laughter) as Lee crooned the song to Bianca Gascoigne. The basic gist was we started out as 11, now we’re going to be 10 and oh we’ve shared some good times and become really close in the last week!
That wasn’t the worst of it, though. Oh no.
Didn’t Lee think it would be a good idea to sing it to everybody at the dinner table? “Ay-oop everybody, I was going to make a speech or write a poem or summat, but I decided to write this song instead….”
My skin was crawling like Paul Danaan had walked into the room…
The problem is, wee Bombhead’s the youngest of the group. The odds are stacked against him. So why would he choose to shoot himself in the foot like that? Or was this another stab at the Soapstar Superstar thing? I don’t see Lee as a pop star, do you?
If anybody managed to get the lyrics to Lee’s masterpiece, please post them so I can cringe one more time….
