Hi, I'm Shirley from New Zealand. Creating songs to make myself and others smile has been one of my favourite pastimes since I was a child.
With the onset of Covid-19, I started creating and sharing 'relyriced' classic songs, as well as a few originals about current events to help keep myself happy. I found that others enjoyed them too, so I kept going, because what's better than being able to spread a bit of joy in difficult times? Now, a few years later, I'm creating full time and LOVING it!
So welcome to my channel. Make a hot drink, get yourself cozy and enjoy - sing along and smile. We will get through this adventure of life - thank you for allowing me to help entertain you along the way.
If you like what I do, please subscribe, so you know when more comes! And if you'd like to help me cover my costs of making these videos - hardware and software bought, guitar strings, wigs(!!), you can through Patreon by becoming a patron or buying mp3s - see links below. Many thanks!

I love seeing people using my little songs to help protest the Trump regime and their gobbling of democracy. Just got told about this one. Go, Rapid Response Choir! If you are looking for songs to sing at any upcoming rallies, I wrote Epstein Files and Please, Just Resign for this purpose exactly. Sing 'em loud! (And send me the videos - I'd love to see!)

I woke up this morning to a lovely milestone - over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube. That’s about the population of New Zealand’s capital city of Wellington, and if all my subscribers gathered for a concert, we’d match Glastonbury. (Let’s do it!) I’m honestly blown away that so many people enjoy my silly videos enough to stick around for more. It’s humbling, and I’m incredibly grateful. So if you’re part of this ridiculous horde, a heartfelt thank you.

4 years old today - and I only found out through a comment wishing it happy anniversary. Bohemian Catsody has become my most watched video, with 12.3 million views so far, nearly 20,000 comments and about 335,000 likes. YIKES! Maybe the internet was made for cat videos after all! Happy anniversary, Bohemian Catsody! 😻

I should be sleeping but the writing bug has hit. Is it based on current events? Absolutely. Am I concerned? Definitely. Will I shut up? Hell, no. I’m sure there’ll be a song soon.

Anyone here from Bonnie Scotland? We've seen how you've dealt so delightfully with your recent visitor. A song is coming your way soon!

Thank you for all who voted on what kind of content they'd like to see. I'll always create what makes me smile first of all, but I do value the input of others. Seems like a majority want me to keep covering current events - and with the way they are, it's hard not to!! I have an EPIC 80s anthem in the wings which deals with some of the current nonsense, just for you.
And many others also want me to do songs that are removed from the news. I get that too, and have two under way for that too - another iconic 80s song and another from the turn of the century, year 2000! They'll take a while to record and film, but just letting you know they're there... and on their way one day!

Thinking of my American viewers this original No Kings Day. You deserve to feel proud, safe, and heard in your own country.
