Red Smed explains. "I keep saying , it's because people think they've found the Red Army choir version. "
This certainly explains the next song on the list too. 'Katyusha' is also big with communists scouring the net for songs with a big anti fascist history so it must be an extra special pleasure when they accidentally stumble across Red Smed playing it in the style of Hank Marvin.
Red Smed continued "It probably isn't 'that' welcome a surprise. Theyre probably angry as fuck."
However, with 5,739 plays it's a long way behind the dizzy heights of the Partisan Song. But, oddly not so far behind 'Leon Trotsky', currently on 4,118. Finally a self penned song ! So to what does Red Smed attribute this?
"Well, people probably trying to find a website about Leon Trotsky is my guess" He hazards a guess.
But how could this be the case with the next song on the list, the celebrated 1980 Dangerous Brothers hit "Secret Seven" . Actually, by this stage it was pointless asking as it was all becoming pretty obvious......
