'Hark now hear' is a mackem song.
The majority of our songs sound poor these days (Geordie Boot Boys was fun back in '84).
We need a more musical approach, a bit of syncopation...
Try slowing things down a bit, alternately signing different lines etc (thus creating an interesting audible effect).
a bit of creativity dear boys.
btw, I like the 'Toon, Toon' song with accompanying clapping and people missing every other 'Black & White Army' bit... (recall it at WH many moons ago).
