“Uncle Albert/Admiral Hasley” was an epic thing, a Number 1 in America, surprisingly enough. I like the little bit that breaks in: “Admiral Hasley notified me, da-da-da, had a cup of tea and a butter pie.” It’s a bit surreal, but I was in a very free mood, and looking back I like all of that. It must have freaked a few people, cause it was quite daft.
