(Oh yeah, to stay in keeping with the tone of this thread, I heard that Scottish Mick has assembled an army of ANGRY VIKINGS and is coming over to destroy all former members of Dalmation Rex & The Eigentones with pointy things, or something along those lines.)

"Oh Micky, running round and round,Watch your footing, don't break the ground.Naughty Micky, kicking arse,You like drinking cider, you don't smoke grass.Oh naughty Micky, making hay,With cider drink - You're not gay.But take this heed, warrior brave,Your weakness is how you treat your slave.You scolded him for drinking gin,And because he made an horrendous din,So in your cider he placed laxatives,And now you've got your girl in fits,As she watches you poop a stream of cack,As you're wearing your bunnymen mac."

"Now I'm sonic and bionic,I don't drink gin and tonic,As I feel the chronic like a spider,And drink a little cider.To the world in my office,I send another missive.Is there anybody out there,Or has everyone gone off it?I deliberate on the moment,Will I ever have atonement?The now feels 'wow',As I imagine my opponent,Reading this recital,I don't suppose this line is vital,As I'm feeling fairly tribal,As I sense the awe insightful,Cause of much perspective,In this civilised community,But with impunity currently,I wait for something to amuse me,But I've lost my sense of humour,It fell out of my brain,But I'll try to scrape it up again,Because it is my main game."

At this point Geordie Mick and the Percy-Posse huffed out of the room and pulled faces through the window of the Landsdown until the bouncer told them to stop it or get lost. They then returned to the bar with their parkas between their legs and glowered at Scottish Mick over their White Ciders with strawberry daiquiri chasers.

We're off to play Emmaboda in Sweden this summer, we need a ukulele technician and I reckon if we take a bottle of special Irn Bru then we could tempt him down from the north...

£3.70 including postage on eBay got me this unobtainable collectors item. I'm prepared to sell it on in exchange for any of the Funky Mongoose material, especially the uber-rare 'Mice With Lice In My Rice..Nice'.

Geordie Mick's Ming Mang Mong Mark Two had apparently recruited ex-Voon leader MJ Hibbett for the battle of the Landsdowne gig and were planning on renaming themselves Ming Mang Mong Mark Hibbett.
Sadly, MJ couldn't make the gig due to a meeting with his publishers, but gave the North Easterly one a pep talk saying he thought that the previous line-up of Ming Mang Mong were better than the Beatles or even Wings.
Meanwhile, Ming Mang Mong Minus One, realising that they were ultimately doomed without their leader Geordie Mick (or "Guru Mong" as he now insists the members of the band call him) woo-ed him back with a £50 phone card and a packet of Lemon Puffs. Analysts have predicted that it is now only a matter of time before the band start calling themselves Ming Mang Mongoose.

Geordie Mick was so pleased with the proceedings that he is considering an ill advised attempt at an upbeat version of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music".
― Half Time! Orange, Friday, 10 March 2006 16:36 (eighteen years ago) link
It's 5.20pm (GMT) and the last notes of the new "Metal Machine Mongoose" album being recorded live have just died away. Local music journalist David "Dave" Davies was there whilst it was being recorded and had this to say:
"Who would have thought that music this innovative, this crucial, this insanely and intrinsically beautiful, yet ugly too (but in a good, non-ironic way) could be conceived, played and recorded within the space of sixty minutes?"
He continued:
"Guru Mong (née Geordie Mick) is at a creative apex, he's burning white hot, white as his beloved £1.99 cider and this cover of Lou Reeds unlistenable classic proves it. I'm overwhelmed with admiration and love for him and his beautiful art. He's a genius. Mong Mang Ming had better watch out."
So - there you have it, music has been reborn.

Psychedelic Mongoose has been put hold in favour of Medieval Mongoose. This "back to basics" album will include tracks such as: "My love gave me a codpiece", "sacks of spuds and curly kale" (a "downdating" of the Blockhead classic), "With cheeks as rosy as apples, I'd like to get in cider" and "The parsnip song"
Instrumentation is rumoured to rely heavily on lutes and recorders, but will not feature bagpipes. "I'm saving them for the 'Krankie Mongoose'" album said Geordie Mick, speaking earlier today from an Elizabethan dunghill.

"Ming Mang Mong's pounding, pulsating, power-pop opener boded well for their set - although it is the first time I have seen a bass guitarist stop playing, look bemused, down a pint of white cider, and scratch his head before launching into a blistering solo.Their second song was possibly the highlight of a tight and refreshingly vocal-centred performance. "Theme from Ming Mang Mong" was three-and-a-half minutes of mid-tempo, sing-along bliss. Geordie Mick got the crowd to sing along to this toe tapping classic - surely if it were realsed as a single a top 10 summer hit awaits?
The refreshing emphasis on vocal hooks belied some seriously heavy guitar 'mingmongmangling' and made them a band to look out for in the future."
