Another hobby of mine is an ongoing project under the name of ‘Driva Saliva’ where I take a classic old song and change the lyrics to make it into a truckin’ song. It’s just a bit of fun. Now of course I realise the songs I use are copyright and so I can’t actually make any profit from them, e.g. I cant sell a CD of them, well not without going through all the process and I can’t be bothered with that, not at this stage anyway.
So, as I do them I’ll keep uploading them here and I can tell people where to go, um, in a nice way, if they want to have a listen.
I have a few more I’m working on and a few ideas also but have a listen to finished ones here. If you want to be able to take them home, shoot me an email and I can send them to you. email: skippityroo@gmail.com
