Smoking ban song on DVD
Monday, July 9, 2007 
Last year, in the wake of the smoking ban in Scotland, we were sent a very funny (well, it made us laugh) song by Glasgow musician Terry Moore called 'The Smoking Ban Song'. Featuring Tam ("the smoke detector") and Ross ("who couldn't give a toss"), the lyrics (expletives deleted) included lines such as:
My name is Tam and I'm yer man
I'm here to enforce the smokin' ban
I used to be a bus inspector
Now I'm an official smoke detectorOh, is that right?
Well, my name is Ross an' I couldn't give a toss
Don't dae this, don't dae that,
Ye cannae sneeze, ye cannae fartDon't hit yer kids, don't pick your nose,
Don't have sex, you might catch a dose
Ye cannae park here, ye don't park there,
The blue meanies are everywhere
Now, with the ban in place throughout the UK, Terry has produced a limited edition, 12-minute DVD featuring 'The Smoking Ban Song' plus a number of (very Scottish!) sketches. (If you're familiar with the likes of Gregor Fisher you'll have some idea of the style.)
To order click HERE. If you want the song but not the DVD, you can still download the former as an MP3 file.

With all due respect, this article is a waste of space. If it was Madonna, it might cause a stir, who's this bloke.
It's a great song Andrew ... I've heard it! Why does the writer have to be Madonna before anyone listens?
