Toffs and Tunes

You may remember, if you read my previous blog entry, Toffs Twitter and Tango, that I had Tweeted for help with a little publicity project I was planning. Well, the help came in the shape of @MontrachetMusic and what a fantastic job he did!

My plan was to put together a slideshow showing images of some of the characters from Trouble At Toff Towers and set it to music. I asked @MontrachetMusic to read my book blurb and see if he could come up with something “simple, jaunty and comedic”. I also sent him a few verses I had jotted down, just to give him a feel of the thing really. The very next day an MP3 file arrived in my email – I was stunned! Literally stunned. Not only had he composed an incredibly catchy tune, his performance is brilliant and he had actually used my words. You will see (or should I say “hear”?) exactly what I mean if you click onto the video I have uploaded to Goodreads.

Oh, and just in case you feel like singing along here are the words:

You don’t have to be stuck up
Anyone can pull it off
Trouble At Toff Towers
With Louisa and Jack Toff
Hugh Jass is cracking up
Edna Bucket can’t take no more
She’s had enough of listening
To Stu Pendous and The What On Earth Four
Toff Towers oh oh
Toff Towers oh oh
Dee Luded gets it so wrong
Toothless Tina looks quite scary
Join us at Coconut Shelly’s
For dinner and Bloody Marys
Don’t worry if you smell fish
For it’s the one and only
Head of Finned-Us Frozen
Sardino Codleone
Oh Toff Towers
Toff Towers oh oh…
