    STOP PRESS....14 Nov 2003...We are informed today by MP3.com that this entire site will cease to exist as from 2nd December 2003.......Visit the NEW improved FRANK FISH & THE FINS site at www.soundclick.com/frankfishandthefins..................................................... Frank Fish and Mick Stickleclack reached the Carlsberg fuelled peak of their combined lyric-writing skills with the passionately yet profoundly bellowed vocal intro of "La la la-la la-la-la...la la la la la la". Who can fail to be deeply touched by these honest,heartfelt words? This is a humble tribute to the long gone Chip shop over the road from the Jericho Tavern in Oxford, scene of many a FF and the Fs gig/rehearsal/lock-in. Recorded at good ol' Richie Haines'Dungeon Studio. Listen to this and track 12 more ripsnorting FF & the Fs audio tracks at: www.soundclick.com/frankfishandthefins

    Story Behind the Song
    'Salt'n'Vinegar'heralds those people who are constantly complaining about other people's constant complaining. As Frank Fish pointed out to a complete stranger in the Radcliffe Arms one
    Friday night, "There's always seventeen people in a party of eighteen who spoil it for the rest of them!"

    Lyrics
    la la la la la...
    I was fasting in the desert for 40 days
    Beneath the cruel sun's burning rays
    I was thin I needed to get fatter
    My heart was set on Cod and Chips in batter
    Oh what a wonderful feeling
    I minced across the sand dunes
    wiggling both my hips
    True happiness for me is eating fish and chips
    I saw a building on the far horizon
    so I stopped walking and I started to run
    I slapped a pound note on the chip shop counter - there was a woman in the queue
    but I walked round her.
    "Oi!" She said "Don't you know that I was here first?" I said "If I don't get some
    fish right now my brain will burst!"
    Oh what a wonderful feeling...
    Too much Salt and Vinegar on my dead cod..
    throw me a glass of water someone
    my throat's so dry I need a drink
    Why did you have to go and sprinkle
    too much Salt and Vinegar on my dead cod...
    la la la la...
