I actually don't hate balloons at all.I had to work quite hard to convince my 4 year old son William of this, once we had listen to the first recording together.
"Why don't you like Balloons Daddy?"
"I do. I was just pretending, to try and make a man in America laugh."
"Is he your friend, do you work with him, is he a lifeguard?"
"Err not really no."
" Why are you trying to make him laugh?
"Err I'm not sure now. There definitely was a reason, I just can't remember what it was."
The idea that I had rewritten, re-recorded, filmed and reproduced the 1980's pop song "Mind set on you." by George Harrison for a total stranger living in Brooklyn, New York who went by the Twitter handle "WTFDAD" would be lost on my 4 year old son.
It was pretty lost on me.
They tend to get stuck on roofs
I said I don't like balloons
I much prefer playing the spoons
parenting costs money
Constantly spending money
We'll soon be running out of money
With all this plastic
I'm spending my time
My non existent time
It takes all my patience and time
to blow up
to blow up
to blow up
to blow up
to blow up
these sodding balloons
I really don't like balloons
They tend to get stuck on roofs
I said I don't like balloons
I much prefer playing the spoons
£11 for a family meal?
was that included or did you steal it?
You don't appreciate who blew it
as you proceed to put a sticky finger through it
I really don't like balloons
Inflicting facial wounds
I really don't like balloons
I'd rather baby sit four racoons
Parenting costs money
Constantly spending money
We'll soon be running out of money
With all these Tee Pees
I'm spending my time
The non existent time
It takes all my patience and time
to blow up
to blow up
to blow up
to blow up
to blow up
these sodding balloons
I really don't like balloons
They tend to get stuck on roofs
I said I don't like balloons
I much prefer playing the spoons
How about we make a deal
No balloons for a Happy Meal
You don't appreciate who blew it
As you proceed to put your foot through it
But I don't mind spending money
It's mostly the Bank's money
It means so much more than money
That you're my child
I'm spending my time
Happily giving my time
It takes all your patience and time
To feed
To teach
To help
To Love
To raise your child
Yeah I still don't like balloons
Or film sets on the moon
Or dark Windowless rooms
Yeah not a fan of balloons
Or people who can't spell Tune
It's T- U -N- E!
Don't like balloons
