This is a most excellent opportunity to spread the word!

He may just have one of:
	Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake
	Kite
	L'Amour Looks Something Like You
	Moving
	Scares Me Silly
	Strange Phenomena
But I can hope it's something new! It may even be a better version
that what we have. That would be good, especially if it SMS, and we
can decypher the lyrics in the several problem areas.

Sorry Richard, but I cannot really help there, unless I scan the various
web pages, I think the owners are probably better than me at that!

The question is which one?
My vote goes to:
	Babooshka
because there are 3 accessible versions: piano only, beat box, N4E.
Each with slightly different lyrics. You could get played verse 2
of each version (where the lyrics are different, ie just after "uncanny").
I know there is a 15 minute time constraint.

If you wanted to just play an early demo song, I'd go for:
	Something Like a Song
also known as "In My Garden" on a boot CD, the one about the piper
wading through her pond, oohoo, ahoo, ...
I think this is *most* excellent, but that's just my opinion!
