Player's comments: | Oranges and Lemons was a track on Jools’ latest album called Small world big band in which Jools joined up with many great artists to put their own characteristics on some new songs and some cover versions. “Oranges and Lemons again” is sung by Suggs, who was the lead singer of the 80’s mod band Madness and also co-wrote the song with Jules. This song was one of the new songs written for the album. Both artists are well known in the UK and both appear regularly on television. It is a song with a large “cockney” influence. Cockneys are people who come from a certain part of London (Cockneys are Londoners who are born within the hearing of the Bow Bells) and have their own way of talking – ever heard of Cockney rhyming slang (mince pies = eyes, dog and bone = telephone). |
