Made a little song which ended up being about the veteran German footballer Torsten Frings (holding midfielder, can break forward).
Did it in an accent that started off being a bit Willy Mason, ended up a bit weirdyank.

Unfinished version of our second song. Still needs another verse, a re-do of the hook, equalizing, improved looping, and maybe a new title.
Still let us know what you think of it. Thanks for listening!
