Name: Ballad of the Drowned Man by Monkeys on the Bed - Virtual Rock Orchestra
Duration: 3 min 1 s
Description: He didn't quite make it across the river.

Written (by Dale Baglo & Duncan Meiklejohn) a long time ago when power ballads were a thing. At the time, I was thinking of pitching it to Bill Medley of Righteous Brothers fame. Lead Vocal: Duncan Meiklejohn.  Interesting to hear an almost 'Beach Boys' approach to the background vocals, what with the falsetto 'oooo' here and there.

He didn't quite make it across the river.

Ballad of the Drowned Man

Rock made a baby,
and dropped it on it's head.
When it woke up,
he was Monkeys on the Bed!
