Paul Woodfull – But I Like You
“A curmudgeon’s love song.”
A legendary figure in the Irish entertainment world for many years, the one and only Paul Woodfull (top) has provided us with many a belly laugh thanks to his glittering cast of comedic alter egos, from The Joshua Trio to Ding Dong Denny O’Reilly & The Hairy Bowsies as well as his work on the musicals I, Keano and Copperface Jacks: The Musical.
Now Paul is back with a new video that is charm itself.
Paul writes:
“This is a new venture for me. This song and video will be the first of many, I hope – I have quite a few songs written. People are probably expecting this stuff to be going for big laughs but it’s not. These songs and videos will be humourous but other things besides.
“I know I’ll lose some of you but I’m hoping a few of you will stick with me. ‘But I Like You’ is a love song, albeit a love song for cranky gits. We cranky gits have a need for love too. Hope you like it.”
Musicians include Mark Flynn (piano), Cormac Moore (bass) and Brian Moylett (drums).
Nick says: Welcome back!
Love it!
Loved Pauls work over the years, seriously underrated talent!
“In 1996 Ding Dong brought out an album called ‘Publocked’ which contained songs such as the famine lament ‘The Potatoes Aren’t Looking The Best”
lol
“Flow river flow, f**k off to the sea” was a personal highlight..
“The Craic We Had The Day We Died For Ireland” is one of the greatest song titles ever written.
Channeling his inner Randy Newman – sounds like something from Sail Away
I’ve been a Newman fan all my adult life and this certainly has a ‘Son of Randy’ feel to. But Woodfull is the business though so I’d excuse him anything. (‘Maybe I’m Doing it Wrong’ is a great read for Newman fans).
I like you, too, Paul Wonderful.
