Feb 2022 rock noisy current-affairs meteorology storm-eunice
It's been somewhat breezy here today.
And as Susie Dent explained this morning on Twitter, "For those asking, the 'hoolie' in 'blowing a hoolie' may come from the Orkney Scots 'hoolan', a strong gale, influenced by the Irish use of 'hooley' for a very noisy party."
Wrapped in his designer fleece
Ace reporter on the case
Struggling to say his piece
Got the sea full in the face
It's blowin' a hoolie out there
Stuck on a Qatari flight
Close enough to see the ground
Finals just not going right
Gonna make a go-around
It's blowin' a hoolie out there
Get the cats in
and hide the bins
Nature makes the rules
And nature always wins
This weather's not routine
You'd best beware
There are more trampolines
than aircraft in the air
Ferries can't get into port
Your gazebo's flown away
It isn't worth you getting caught
Better stay at home today
It's blowin' a hoolie out there
St. Thomas's lost its steeple
The Millennium Dome is toast
Stay safe out there, people
And don't go near the coast!
It's blowin' a hoolie out there

The sounds in here are stormy in themselves, lots of energy builds and drive to the track.

"More trampolines than aircraft in the air" Just gold on that visual! Love it!

I come for the music and I learn a new bit of slang! I just saw that video clip, oh my. The chorus is a worm. And the drums are epic! And the modal solo, yeah! You are a creative monster.

Great, great musical arrangment--I am constantly amazed at your "music beds".
Another great, great rocker!
