“Twenty first century folk for twenty first century folk” ’
Ows tha doin cocker? Here’s some reet gradely stuff about everyone’s favourite North West folk singers the Lancashire Hotpots.
As we all know, the ‘Hotpots’ like Prestwich Hospital, are a long established Lancashire institution. They have been singing songs about the traditions and people of Bolton, Preston, Wigan and St Helens for nigh on 30 crackin’ years.
I’m sure thas all remembers back in’t 70s they had their legendary TV show ‘Shut Thi Trap’, just after Look North West, when Stuart Hall was on it wi John Mundy. There they’d sing the songs from't past that the owd ‘uns all sing along to. Eee, I remember it well, all’t classics such as
‘Down’t Pit, Down’t Mill, Down’t t’hole int’ ground’
‘Favver, has tha seen me cap?’
‘Ee, I think thas got rickets!’
’Giz Six pints o’mild, I’is planning to get ratted’
In recent times there’s bin a change of line up fert Hotpots which has seen the arrival of three new members Dicky Ticker, Bernard Thresher and Bob Wriggles. This injection of young blood has seen a change of direction fert group who have decided ter embrace the young ‘uns and try and get them into our traditional music. It’s hard getting them to listen mind, one minute they want folk on, the next minute its folk off!!
So the lads has written them a new style of folk song just fer them. Its “twenty first century folk for twenty century folk” they say and they hope all young ‘uns across thi land will enjoy their new sound!
T'hotpots can recommend those Emmet lads if tha fancies a bit o' that rumpy thumpty dance music.
I Met a Girl on MySpace

It really is the best
I logged into it the tother day
It said new friend request
It were from a lass in lancashire
Her page had loads of hits
And she had absolutely massive...
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Aye
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Ayes
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Loo-ra Aye
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Ayes
Right Here We Go
I sent her instant messages
I posted on her blog
I said lets meet in Wetherspoons
So we could have a snog
She said she had no transport
And so a lift she'd catch
And if I played my cards right
I'd get to feel her
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Aye
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Ayes
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Loo-ra AyeS
Word to your mother
How is your mother?
We walked home from pub together
I even bought her chips
I kissed her on the doorstep
She said can't you kiss me on the lips
We carried on our courting
But then I had a reet big shock
It turns out it wasn't a girl at all
It was a fella with a massive...
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Aye
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Ayes
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Loo-ra Aye
Too-ra, Loo-ra, Ayes
The Lancashire Hotpots's song "I Met a Girl on MySpace" is a humorous tale of a man who meets a person on the popular social media platform, only to discover that they are not who they claim to be. The song starts with the singer discussing his MySpace page and how he received a new friend request from a woman in Lancashire with many hits on her profile. It is at this point where the song takes a comedic turn as the man mentions the woman's "absolutely massive..." but never finishes the sentence.
The man sends the woman instant messages and posts on her blog, hoping to arrange a meeting with her. However, she claims to have no transport and will need to catch a lift. The man offers to meet her at Wetherspoons and treat her to a snog (British slang for a kiss). The two eventually meet and walk home together, and the man buys her chips from a takeaway food stand. However, when they arrive at her doorstep, she asks why he has not kissed her on the lips yet. It is at this point where the man discovers that the woman is actually a man.
The Lancashire Hotpots's song "I Met a Girl on MySpace" is a comical take on the dangers and risks associated with meeting strangers online, as well as the potential for deceit and lies. However, the song also pokes fun at the absurdity of the situation, with the man's shock at discovering the person's true identity being contrasted with the repeated chorus of "Too-ra, Loo-ra, Ayes."
